The comedian’s eyes are distorted as if they have been crushed with a hammer. The trembling lips slightly parted and a low voice came out.
“How about that…” .”
She quickly came to her senses and kept her mouth shut, but Raon did not miss that moment.
“It was true, after all.”
Raon clenched his fists with a cold smile.
‘it’s okay.’
Although the words didn’t flow together, the answer was enough. The testimony that the Comedy Emperor met with a person wearing a dragon helmet was true.
‘Is this the effect of being a fool?’
Seeing the Emperor’s strong spirit crumble, even if only for a moment, was worth the effort of getting on her nerves from the moment she entered the throne room.
“Tell me. “What does this have to do with Eden?”
It was not the comedy festival that responded to Raon’s question, but the executives.
Coo coo coo coo!
The Jeonju and the Daeju surrounded the Huigeukje with silent attacks. Even though they didn’t talk to her, they put pressure on her by creating an air of examination-like vibes.
“Was it the Ghost of Eden?”
“Don’t move.”
“Why did you come here without any fear because of your disgust?”
Karun, Denier, Balder. The three Jeonju held their swords to the Emperor of Huigeuk’s neck with a force that was so sharp that it made you cringe.
I thought Karun and Balder were only disturbing characters, but seeing this, I found them to be somewhat trustworthy.
They also seemed to think of their family before anything else.
Gooooooo!
The great lords were also blocking the road as if assisting the Jeonju and pointing their swords at Emperor Huigeuk.
Coo coo coo coo!
Emperor Huigeuk did not bend his back even though he was under the power of Jeonju and Daeju.
An intimidating energy wave rose from beneath her feet like a tidal wave.
“The bottom line is really being drained today.”
The comedian raised his eyebrows. A look of liberation. In this brief moment, she seemed to calm down and come to her senses.
“Choose your words well.”
Hearing Glenn’s cold voice, the comedian’s eyes turned to the podium.
“Because I can’t let you go if you have anything to do with Eden.”
“Uhm… .”
For the first time, tension appeared in her eyes.
“I have no intention of fighting.”
The Emperor slowly raised his hands and shook his head. Cold sweat dripped from my forehead.
“I will admit it. “I once met a man wearing a dragon helmet.”
She calmly lowered her eyes.
“There is no such thing as a relationship. “He was a customer who came to Moby Dick to buy information.”
“customer?”
“As anyone here knows, Moby Dick trades in both force and information.”
The executives nodded slightly. Everyone seemed to know that.
“He came to me directly to buy information, and I sold the information to him. merchants and customers. “It’s just that relationship.”
The comedian grabs the man’s sleeve, saying he hasn’t seen him since he traded information.
“What does that helmet look like?”
Glenn parted his lips and gave an eerie look.
“hmm… .”
The comedian let out a short groan as he listened to Glenn’s question.
“As expected, the head of the family knows about the Heavenly Demon.”
She nodded slowly.
“Cheonma?”
“What is the Heavenly Demon?”
“Uhm… .”
The great lords frowned as if they did not know about the Heavenly Demon.
“… … .”
However, the three Jeonju, as if they knew about the Heavenly Demon, exerted even more fierce energy and put pressure on the Emperor.
“Cheonma… .”
As Raon tilted his head, the comedian continued speaking.
“The purpose of Eden is restoration. They want to go back to the old times. Do you know what time period that is?”
The comedian turned his attention to Raon. She continued her words with a smile that seemed out of place.
“A hell where humans and monsters waged an endless war. It was a time when the demon dragon was trying to eat the world. “It was also the time when the first head of Sieghart made his name known.”
“Demon Dragon… .”
Raon swallowed his dry saliva.
‘I’ve heard of it,’
There was a legend that a demon dragon, said to be the worst and strongest, was said to have eaten even his own people and tried to erase the human world.
It was said that human life in those days was hell itself, with even demons running amok, and that seems to have been true.
“The true purpose of Eden is the resurrection of the demon dragon. “Some of you here will know, and some of you will find out.”
He shook his head, saying that the comedy festival was not cheap information.
“In Eden, the person who wears the devil dragon’s helmet is called the Heavenly Demon. I hope that someday I will become a demon dragon and color the sky with darkness. “They say he has never been seen in the world, but if you are the head of the family, you would know, right?”
She smiled at Glenn.
‘I see.’
Raon’s lips trembled as he listened to the comedian’s words.
‘The second head of Eden was Cheonma.’
There were a lot of rumors that there was a leader other than Tacheon in Eden, but it seemed that his identity was Cheonma.
“The dragon helmet worn by the Heavenly Demon has red scales, black horns, and the magic eye with white and black inverted. but… .”
The comedian moistened his dry lips.
“The one wearing the dragon helmet who came to me was different. He had silver scales and his horns were bluish. The appearance was also different from the previously known characteristics of the demonic dragon.”
She shook her head, saying she did not know his identity.
“What information did he buy?”
Glenn looked into her eyes in silence, as if trying to figure out the comedian’s intentions.
“I may have looked pathetic today, but I am an intelligence merchant. “We cannot disclose information that customers have purchased.”
Emperor Heegeuk straightened his back. Her confident aura bloomed like when she first came here.
“One thing, let me be clear: the information he bought was not about the Six Emperors.”
The comedian assured that the information would absolutely not harm Sieghart.
‘That woman… .’
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the comedian.
‘It’s more amazing than I thought.’
It was surprising how calmly he responded in such an urgent situation. She felt like she needed to revise her risk assessment.
“Why should I believe that?”
Glenn looked down at the Emperor with cold majesty in his red eyes.
“doesn’t exist. However, I swear on my name and Baek Kyung’s name that I am not lying.”
The Emperor of Comedy took out a white card from his arms. The pattern of Baekgyeong, a spirit creature said to roam the sea and sky, was engraved on the roundly carved white steel.
“If what I said turns out to be false in the future, you can bring that card and hit me on the head.”
She narrowed her eyes, saying that she wasn’t just saying this to get out of this situation.
‘It doesn’t seem like a lie… .’
Raon swallowed dryly as he looked at the card presented by the comedian.
‘What will happen?’
If Glenn has information about the helmets of other dragons besides the Heavenly Demon, the Emperor of Comedy will be able to leave this place safely. Otherwise, a battle with Glenn will occur.
‘Whatever it is, it’s not a good idea to hit it now.’
The people held in the Black Tower began to spread rumors about Baek Kyung’s evil deeds, and if the Emperor of Huigeuk were to be injured or killed here, the best-laid plans would fall apart.
Now was not the time to attack her.
Ugh.
As he was thinking about how to act in each situation, the Moby Dick card in the Emperor’s hand floated up and was caught in Glenn’s hand.
“Let me accept it. but… .”
The card in Glenn’s hand turned into powder and scattered in an instant.
It was not human helplessness for an object made of white-grained iron to melt like that.
“If what you say is false, I will personally clear Baek Kyung’s name, regardless of what happens.”
“… “I will keep that in mind.”
The comedian seemed to be tired of Glenn’s intimidation and nodded his chin and trembled his shoulders.
“hmm… .”
Raon looked at Glenn’s sunken eyes and smoothed the back of his hand.
‘So, there is another dragon’s helmet other than the one called Cheonma?’
Silver with blue horns. It was a combination of colors that I felt like I had seen somewhere before.
As I was thinking about that pitch in my head, Glenn waved his hand.
“Gather it.”
After hearing his instructions, Jeonju and Daeju withdrew their swords and retreated.
“after… .”
The comedian let out a light breath and dusted off his sleeves. It seemed like she was nervous too, as the back of her dress was damp.
“Then let’s go.”
Roen approached the comedian and smiled as if nothing had happened.
“Lord of the Gwangpung Unit.”
Heegeukje did not follow Roen, but turned his gaze towards Raon.
“You got it right this time. “It’s a complete defeat.”
A lingering fire-like heat burned in his seemingly dry eyes.
“I really hope to see you again.”
“I don’t really want to see you, do you?”
Raon shrugged his shoulders and said he wasn’t interested.
“wait a minute.”
Just as the comedian was about to furrow his eyebrows, he spread his fingers.
“It would be a good idea to leave Gajujeon and stop by the building on the right.”
“The building on the right?”
“yes. You should wear new shoes. “If you go there and ask for shoes, they will give them to you.”
He smiled and pointed to the comedian’s shoes. According to my life so far, once I touched something, the right thing to do was to go all the way.
Puzzle.
The Emperor of Hugeuk left the throne room with a red face, gritting his teeth, as if the emotions he had barely suppressed were surging back up again.
thud.
Even though there was a loud sound as the iron door closed, the inside of the throne room was quiet.
“hmm… .”
“uh… .”
Jeonju and Daeju opened their mouths as if they had no idea that Raon would overwhelm the Comedy Emperor to this extent.
“Uhm… .”
“It seems like it ended well.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“It ended well.”
“I had no idea it would turn out this way.”
All of the executives nodded as if they were satisfied with the result of the comedy emperor’s surrender. Even Balder was smiling.
Raon looked at Lars with a gaze filled with surprise and pride.
I was about to say thank you for keeping my mouth shut, but the guy had his back turned and was moving his hands hard.
‘What are you doing?’
-I’m taking notes.
As he said, Lars was writing on his round palm.
‘What writing?’
-This is your way of making fun of other humans. The effect was so crazy that the King himself acknowledged it. Take your shoes and go.
The guy was writing one letter at a time, repeating what he had said to the comedian a little while ago.
– Pali come on. If you tell them to come quickly, they get angry.
‘That’s not it… .’
These were words that had to be used according to the situation to feed the other person, but if used simply, they had no meaning.
‘That’s not the way to say it… .’
-noisy. Because I’m studying. This king, like you, will take off his human mask!
Lars waved his hand, telling me not to talk to him because he was studying.
‘You are not originally human.’
When Raon shook his head, Rimmer clung to his side.
“What are you really? “Where on earth did you learn to do that?”
“Where do you learn it? “There’s an ugly adult right next to me.”
He pointed at Rimmer with his finger.
“me? I don’t do anything as crazy as you! “You were just a piece of shit!”
“no. “I did just as much as the Great Lord.”
Raon shook his head and said no.
“Hmm, whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. “Because that’s not important right now.”
Rimmer chuckled and waved his hand at Glenn.
“Matriarch!”
He grinned as he pointed to the mountain of wealth the Comedy Emperor had left behind.
“Raon should take the extra money that he got thanks to Raon, right?”
The corners of Glenn’s mouth trembled when he heard those words.
“My lord. jeon… .”
When Raon was about to wave his hand saying that it was not necessary, a message appeared before his eyes.
* * *
When Ariel followed Roen out of the Gajujeon, Baekrangdo, Hyeolwoongyeom, and other subordinates were waiting.
Their behavior was not much different from before, but their eyes were as dead as those of old lions.
‘Damn you guys… .’
Pathetically, I wanted to beat the heads of Baekrangdo and Hyeolwoongyeom, who had revealed the information to Raon, but the location was the location, so I had no choice but to hold back.
“Hoe, Lord Hoe.”
“sorry!”
Baekrangdo and Hyeolwoongyeom saw Ariel’s eerie eyes and bowed their heads first, asking them to kill her first.
“Get up. Because that’s not what I want to say here.”
“uh?”
When Ariel waved her hand and helped everyone stand up, Baekrangdo gaped.
“Mr. Hoeju. Blood around the mouth… .”
I touched my lips while listening to those words. She had blood streaming out of her mouth.
‘It’s not blood from the mouth.’
Internal injury.
It was an internal injury I got from being exposed to real force while under great psychological shock. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a wound caused by Raon.
‘Damn it.’
Even though it wasn’t serious, I was irritated because it was a wound that needed to be healed for a while.
Ariel gestured to Hyeolwoongyeom and Baekrangdo.
“Follow me. I have to go back right away. “You just say you don’t know anything.”
We had to move as quickly as possible to silence the people Raon had sent out. He had no time for conversation.
As I headed towards the main gate of Sieghart, the prosecutors I saw when I came in were standing there, and behind them were even ordinary people who had not studied martial arts.
“What are you thinking, not saving the hostages!”
“That’s no different from Ouma!”
“What kind of Shinju Oma are you talking about?”
“Comedy festival? hero? “That was bullshit!”
The residents of Sieghardt behind the prosecutors had already heard the rumors of the Comedy Emperor and Moby Dick and began to criticize them.
Heegeukje chewed his lip and walked quickly towards the front door.
“Are you leaving already?”
Foreign Minister Iliun, who was standing in front of the door, waved his hand with a brighter expression than when he first saw it.
“That’s right. “Please open the door.”
“As much as you want.”
As he waved his hand with a face full of coolness, the front door slowly opened.
“Whoa… .”
As soon as the Emperor of Comedy sighed and went out the door, the followers who had followed him here rushed over and blocked his path.
“Mr. Comedian!”
“How did this happen!”
“You kept quiet even after seeing the people captured by the demon!”
“That’s a lie!”
Her followers who followed her actions gathered their hands and asked her to please say no. Not only these people, but even the residents of Sieghart behind them came out and started criticizing them.
“Have a comfortable journey.”
When I turned around at the sound of a disturbing voice, I saw Iliun on the castle wall, grinning.
“Ugh… .”
Emperor Huigeuk gritted his teeth and forced to swallow the blood that was trying to come up through the ulnar tissue.
‘Raon Sieghardt. I won’t let it happen just this once. But next time… .’
