“It’s a meeting of the Five Spirits of the New Zhou… .”
Raon let out a cold smile as he looked at McCain.
“Is that really an imitation of the Six Emperors’ Meeting?”
“no.”
McCain shook his head calmly, even though he knew he was being laughed at.
“The personalities of each force that makes up the Xinchu Five Spirits are drastically different. To be honest, I wonder how the five groups, including Baekkyung, came together.”
That is correct. Moby Dick brought the black market to the sunny side, and the Machanghoe I saw yesterday was like watching the North and South alliance.
It was obvious that the other three groups also had different characteristics. Since people who had no ties to each other had banded together to avoid the Six Emperor Five Ma’s checks, it was natural that they needed to exchange opinions.
“Meetings are essential to coordinate the opinions of five different organizations. “It is a necessary procedure, unlike the six-stage process that has already been completed.”
McCain frowned, saying that they had previously stabbed each other during a meeting.
“Why are you calling me to such an important meeting?”
Raon released his hands from behind his back and completely turned to McCain.
“Because Raon came to represent Sieghart.”
“I am not a real representative.”
“Since I can’t see Rimmer, I have no choice but to tell this to Raon.”
“Then can we send our great lord?”
“… That’s right.”
McCain’s response was slightly later than other times.
‘The Comedy Emperor expects me to come. Are you planning something again?’
Of course, I had no intention of sending the troublemaker Rimer to the meeting, but just learning about the comedian’s thoughts was a huge benefit.
“No matter who attends the meeting, I want to show that we, Hsinchu Oring, have no hostility toward the Six Emperors.”
McCain lowered his head, saying he had no intention other than that.
“Didn’t they come from other six emperors?”
“First of all, Owen and the Balkar Kingdom did not respond.”
“I guess so.”
Raon nodded calmly.
‘Because they’ll think you ignored it.’
Just above the new city of Varenna is the trading city of Cameloon, and on either side of it are Owen and Balkar.
It was clear that the two kingdoms had bad feelings towards Xinchuo Ling, as they cleverly used neutral territory to build a city.
“In the League of Beasts, um… .”
McCain trailed off. When he remembered the fierce face of Yawang Ogram, he could clearly see what had become of the envoy sent that way.
“You came to the Magic Tower faster than Sieghart.”
“At the Magic Tower?”
Raon widened his eyes.
‘I thought you wouldn’t come?’
It was unexpected that the Magic Tower, which was not expected to come beyond the Beast League, sent personnel so quickly.
“Who came?”
“This is my new number, Yuria.”
“New number Yuria… .”
I heard the rumor. He is a young wizard called a genius who came out of the Magic Tower after 100 years. I heard that his outside activities are very limited, but I had no idea he came here.
“Not only the Six Emperors, but also the heads of other neutral forces have been invited, so I hope you will attend.”
McCain bowed his head and asked again.
“So are you also inviting the Black Market and the Yonan family?”
“That’s right.”
“When is the meeting?”
“It’s tonight. It will be held together with the first banquet.”
“Tonight?”
Raon looked at the sky and frowned.
“Don’t you usually have to tell me things like this a few days in advance?”
“There were people who were opposed to making the meeting public, but they only changed their minds this morning. “We are trying to show our sincerity, so please understand.”
-Reject!
Lars shook his head so fast that his eyes could not be seen.
-Didn’t you make a promise to the King? Tell them to fuck off!
The guy gritted his teeth and said that he should never go.
‘Um, I’m sorry… .’
Raon shook his head, holding Lars’ head.
‘I guess I have to go anyway. Let’s postpone our dinner date for a bit.’
It is rare to have the opportunity to meet the head of the Shenju Five Spirits all at once. It’s right to attend meetings and find out what they are thinking.
-You paid all the money while making a restaurant reservation!
‘The kids at Gwangpungdae can eat that. I’ll tell you to leave some behind.’
-It doesn’t taste good when it’s cold!
‘It can’t be helped.’
-Keuuuuuu! Damn heaven! Damn world!
Lars’ body turned into strawberry-flavored cotton candy again.
-It won’t work! Just hand yourself over!
‘What suddenly… .’
-Last time, I wasn’t allowed to eat ice cream, and this time, I even ate lobster and pig’s feet. I will freeze everything that interferes with your meal and come back!
Saliva flowed out of Lars’ mouth as he expressed his anger.
-I will eat it well and give it back to you! Hand it over now!
‘Eat well?’
-Oh, no, I will write it well and return it!
‘Wipe your spit and lie… .’
* * *
Raon put on a black dragon robe over his black robes and left the room.
Encia and Denning Rose were standing in the lobby, and their colors were dramatically different.
Denning Rose was wearing a darker-colored dress than yesterday, as if she was at a funeral, and Encia was wearing a brightly colored shirt and pants that looked like something between work clothes and a dress, as if she wasn’t paying attention to the meeting.
“Are you two ready?”
“That’s it.”
“… fail.”
Unlike Denning Rose, who answered calmly, Encia lowered her shoulders.
“What happened?”
“A photo.”
Encia raised the camera and bit her lip.
“The photo in my subspace pocket disappeared while I was sleeping!”
“Sheep is no joke, but being somewhere else… .”
“That can’t be possible! “Because only the A class disappeared!”
“Class A?”
“I’m talking about the best picture.”
Denning Rose took over the explanation of Class A. When she looked at him, her face blushed with embarrassment.
“Seeing as he only took the best ones from Class A, he must know Raon well!”
As Encia was grinding her teeth, the door to the mansion opened, and Rimmer came in.
“uh? “Where are you all going dressed up?”
Rimmer tilted his head while holding a bottle of alcohol in his hand.
“As a representative of Sieghardt, I was invited to the meeting of the Divine Spirit. “Will the High Lord go?”
I had no intention of giving in, but I asked him if he wanted to go to Rimmer just in case.
“Hey, why do I bother going there?”
Rimmer gave the expected answer and shook the bottle.
“You know that I trust our unit commander, right? “You take care of it!”
He patted my shoulder with a cool smile.
“wow… .”
“That is our great lord…” .”
“Aren’t you just a fucking idiot?”
“I’m really going crazy.”
The swordsmen of the Gwangpungdae sighed as they looked at Rimmer, who seemed to be heavily intoxicated.
“That’s just… .”
Marta’s closed fists were shaking as if she wanted to run out and beat him up right away.
However, contrary to what they thought, Rimmer did not smell of alcohol at all.
“My lord.”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Rimmer who was staggering.
“What happened?”
“What’s going on?”
“I thought you were angry.”
Today Rimmer was different from usual. He can’t explain the exact reason, but his emotions felt like boiling lava.
“Why am I angry? “I just feel good.”
Rimmer shook his head and said not at all. Looking at his expression, I was even more suspicious.
-What you said is correct.
Ras looked at Rimmer and nodded.
-That ear piece is angry.
‘anger?’
-I didn’t like that guy from the first time I saw him.
‘What does that mean?’
-That guy has deep anger at the bottom of his soul, but he doesn’t show it. He seems like an unlucky guy.
He frowned and said that the guy was an idiot who couldn’t be honest about his feelings.
‘Then did I feel the difference because of my anger?’
I think I sensed Rimmer’s strangeness because he was angry.
‘Why are you suddenly angry?’
-Why why? Probably because I lost all my money!
Lars tapped his head, asking why he didn’t know such a simple thing.
‘I don’t think so.’
Rimmer never gets really angry no matter how much money he loses. Sometimes I thought he was trying to lose money on purpose.
“Oh, I am angry.”
Rimmer came up and grabbed him by the collar.
“Because you took all the money from the gambling house, the Tazzas are frantically collecting money from the wealthy! “I lost everything too!”
After reciting what a brutal fight he had at the gambling house, he headed to his room.
‘It’s not because of gambling or anything like that.’
Raon frowned as he looked at Rimmer’s trembling back.
‘I’ll have to dig into it later.’
* * *
Raon, guided by McCain, headed with Encia and Denning Rose to the Shinju Oryeong conference hall set up in the center of Barene.
The road to the conference hall was full of people, perhaps because the real festival started today. There were so many people, merchants, tourists, and onlookers that there was no room to step.
If Baekkyung had not opened the way, I would have had a hard time taking Denning Rose and Encia with me.
“This is the conference hall of Varennes.”
McCain, who had been leading the way, calmly lowered his head and pointed to a building soaring into the sky.
Perhaps to raise awareness of Shinju Oryeong, the conference hall was as large and grand as Owen’s royal castle. If you didn’t know it, you would have thought it was a royal castle or a temple, not a conference hall.
“Please come in.”
“thank you.”
Raon nodded to McCain and opened the door to the conference room.
An iron door large enough for an ogre to enter is pushed in without a sound. At the same time, flowing moonlight pours in from the glass-trimmed ceiling.
The hallway filled with elegant moonlight seemed to be the incarnation of Malten’s staircase, which is said to lead one towards God.
‘It’s so splendid that it’s sacred.’
The weaker an animal is, the more it hides itself in splendor. Unlike the power that Shinju Oryeong had, I felt that he did not have true power.
Raon exhaled lightly and stepped on the red carpet. With calm and powerful steps, he moved to the center of the conference room where a rectangular table was set up.
Even though we arrived on time, there were not many empty seats. Looking at the atmosphere, it seemed like the others had arrived a while ago.
I turned my gaze to the other side. Only Dumtkan of the Tven family and Byton, the leader of the Holy Knights of the Holy Kingdom of Super, who had sparred yesterday, were visible. Not only those, but also many heads and heads of neutral forces whose names you might have heard of were also occupying positions. It was true that many people were invited.
The comedian who was sitting at the head of the table gave me a greeting. A man and woman she had never seen before were sitting next to her, and her fingertips were trembling from the energy that naturally radiated from them.
‘Are they the leaders of the remaining Shinju Five Spirits?’
The blonde woman sitting on the left was holding a sword with her arms crossed, but her eyes were so harsh that it was difficult to look at her properly. An atmosphere as cool as a sharpened blade. It seemed like that woman was Brigitte, whose nickname was Aggeomhu.
To the right of the comedian, there was an old man with gray hair, and his eyes were narrow so he looked like he was smiling. Contrary to Brigitte, this man exuded a gentle aura, but it was clear that this man, who made his heart feel even more uncomfortable, was the Sagumma Drek.
Perhaps because three of the leaders of Shinju Oryeong were together, this huge conference hall seemed as narrow as a corner of a room.
“Please sit down.”
Raon finished his search and gave up his seat to Denning Rose and Encia first. When I was about to sit down for the last time, the door to the conference room opened again.
“You’re here as expected!”
Guisalchang came in while scratching his head and waved his hand.
“How are you going to entertain me today?”
He grinned and asked me to make something fun this time too.
“You didn’t come here to have fun.”
Raon shook his head as he looked at the ghostly spear heading to the head table.
“omg!”
“Uh… .”
“Ji, did Baekgeomryong speak informally to Demon Sarchang just now?”
“Are you crazy?”
“W-What on earth were you thinking…?” .”
The leaders of the neutral forces sitting at the table were shocked and their eyes trembled.
“That’s true, but it’s still fun just to see you.”
In fact, Guisalchang, who heard the informal language, smiled even brighter and did not even get angry.
“La, Raon.”
The comedian called Raon and bit his lip. Here, he had an expression asking him to control himself, but just by looking at him, I could tell that it was an act.
“Hehehe.”
As Raon was about to sit down after watching the comedy festival, a low sound of laughter was heard from the head of the table. It was similar to Roen’s, but it was a voice filled with sympathy.
“Perhaps because he gained fame at a young age, the leader of Sieghardt is spoiled.”
It was a sword horse. His eyes narrowed and he drew snake-like pupils.
“… … .”
Raon straightened his back and looked down at the Four Swords Demon.
“Your eyes are fierce. “Did I say something wrong?”
Sharp words and bitter energy rush in. Pressure that makes it difficult to open your mouth. The stream of thoughts created by the Four Swords Demon surrounded his body.
“From now on, speak louder to everyone.”
Raon lowered his eyes as the four sword demons babbled nonsense.
‘The intention is the intention.’
Just like when he blocked the Demon Slayer’s attack, he brought out his auror and will at the same time.
Through enlightenment, a stronger image opened, and a sharp energy wave rose like a sword.
Jjijijijijik!
He cut off the rope of doubt caused by the Four Swords Demon and headed toward the head of the table.
“Who did you call?”
“what… .”
Sagumma’s lips trembled, as if he didn’t know that his thoughts would be broken.
“Did you call White Sword Dragon Raon Sieghart?”
Raon looked down at the leaders of the Shinju Five Spirits, including the Four Sword Demons, with dry eyes.
“The person who received the invitation was not the White Sword Dragon Raon Sieghardt, but Sieghardt’s executive. “The fact that I came here means that I represent Sieghardt.”
A red-hot flame burns with a strong will. The scales of the black dragon pod sprouted and black waves rolled.
The symbol of the divine sword worn on the left chest received the heat of the manga ball and shed an auspicious light.
“You are the ones who have bad habits.”
A red flash of light appeared in the eyes of Raon, who was alone in the conference room.
“Speak louder from now on.”
