Chapter 585
Siyan looked at Raon through the hole in the blanket and opened her mouth wide.
“Yesss?”
She was so embarrassed that she trembled without even knowing what she was making.
‘Looking at what?’
Siyan’s lips trembled as she looked at her limbs hidden by the blanket.
‘Is there a smell? Or is it that you don’t want to be with me because I’m ugly?’
When Raon suddenly said he was looking at me, all sorts of thoughts came to mind.
When I was shaking my chin because I didn’t know how to react, Raon continued.
“It’s not something I can say too hastily, but it may be possible to improve Siyan’s condition a little.”
“Well, in my condition… .”
“You said it doesn’t resonate, right?”
“yes. still… .”
Siyan glanced at Raon and nodded.
“I want to see why that doesn’t work.”
Raon looked at Siyan and narrowed his eyes.
‘There’s a good chance.’
Siyan’s mother said that she came here when she was pregnant, and Ras said that the passage leading to the top hall was blocked by something huge since Siyan was born.
I’m not sure, but I thought the energy of the beads left behind by Sieghardt’s ancestors may have permeated her.
‘Because I’m a high elf.’
High elves are beings as close to nature as the world tree. If Siyan was special among them, it was no wonder that the energy that had grown her world tree was transferred to her.
“Well, then what should I do? Should I take off my clothes first?”
“… no. All you have to do is give me your hand.”
“Sigh! Ah, I get it.”
Siyan wriggled under the blanket for a while and held out a trembling hand.
I’ve seen quite a few women’s hands so far, but this is the first time I’ve seen arms so white that they look transparent. It was like I had never seen the sun.
“Excuse me.”
I was holding Siyan’s hand and trying to use the cartoon ball, but before I could apply the aura, her arm was shaking as if she had been electrocuted.
“Siyan? “Are you in any pain?”
“Oh, no!”
Shi Yan quickly shook his head.
‘How can I tell you I’m nervous!’
For the first time in his life, he held the hand of someone other than his family, and that object was his idol, Raon. He felt like his heart was going to fall out and he was going to dance.
Raon held Siyan’s hand tightly to prevent her from shaking and simultaneously pushed the energies of Manga Ball and Glacia into her mana circuit.
Previously, when treating Rimmer, I was able to quickly find the path by understanding the elf’s mana circuit.
‘It’s clean.’
Shiyan’s dantian was like a newborn child, without even the slightest waste, and the mana circuit was so vast that it was not much different from that of a grand master.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was a blessing to have a body like this from birth.
‘It’s surprising that you have a body like this, but you’re not good at using Aurors.’
Raon took a quick bite and looked at Siyan’s middle and middle battles.
Jungjangjeon was as clean as Hadanjeon, but due to its low level, it was barely developed.
Finally, when moving the auror past the middle battle to the direction of the top battle, a part where the mana circuit was blocked suddenly appeared, as if a huge rock was standing there.
‘It’s solidified.’
It was an important mana circuit that was blocked from birth for both humans and elves, and only opened after becoming a Grand Master, and I didn’t notice anything unusual about it.
It was a part that no one else was supposed to touch, but I believed Lars’s words and pushed two lines of Manga Ball and Glacia’s energy into it.
Wooooow!
Unless you are the owner of the body that achieved enlightenment, you should not be able to break through the passage, but strangely, the heat of the manga ball and the cold of Glacia penetrated the tightly closed gap and seeped inside.
‘Wasn’t it really natural?’
Thinking that the hypothesis was correct, I was about to push in a little more dense energy when I heard Rimmer’s voice.
“Raon! Siyan! come here. “It begins now.”
“hmm… .”
Raon frowned and retrieved the auror and let go of Siyan’s arm.
“Uh, how do you feel?”
“I’m not sure yet. Can we try again after the purification ritual is over?”
“Ah yes… .”
Siyan nodded, covering himself with the blanket, letting out a trembling voice.
“thank you.”
Raon lowered his head and headed towards where Rimmer and Sterin were.
Siyan looked at Raon’s back as he walked ahead and touched the upper part of his solar plexus.
‘It’s warm… .’
And it was cool too.
She followed Raon with her hands clasped together as if she wanted to keep the warm feeling she felt for the first time in a long time.
* * *
When we went to the center of the World Tree, the elves were showing a sharp movement as if they were about to go to war.
“Come this way.”
Stelin motioned for me to come closer.
“yes.”
Raon approached Sterin with Siyan.
“Both of you listen carefully.”
Stelin said it was important and pointed to his ears. It seemed like he really wanted to treat Seifia as her benefactor.
“Resonance means uniting my spirit with this world. However, if you assimilate your spirit with the world… .”
His voice became chillingly cold.
“Nine out of ten people will die.”
“You’re dying?”
“okay. Compared to the huge world, my mind is so small that it cannot become one. However, it becomes possible if you reduce the object of unity.”
“Reduction of the target… .”
“Isn’t there a level that prosecutors like you have achieved?”
“Are you really talking about the union of the sword and body?”
“Yes.”
Stelin nodded calmly.
“High elves like me are born with the ability to resonate with the World Tree.”
He achieved resonance with the World Tree not through training. He shook his head, saying it was an ability he was born with.
“But isn’t it a waste to only use resonance for purification rituals? So I was born… .”
“You are an inspiration.”
“I guess I understand now.”
A faint smile appeared on Stelin’s lips.
“You may not be able to become one with the World Tree, but it may be possible to learn the flow of resonance.”
He looked this way and nodded. He seemed to want to learn something from himself.
“Then let’s begin.”
Stelin leaned his back against the World Tree and closed his eyes. His steady breathing slowly subsided, and his presence burned fiercely like a fire spreading through the forest.
The moment Stelin, who had been rising endlessly as if he had thrown off the limitations of his body, became so large that it covered the world tree, his breathing stopped.
‘Dead… no.’
The moment it was thought that Sterin was dead, a brilliant green light began to bloom on the World Tree, which was wrapped in a soft blue light.
Stelin’s noble yet gentle spirit was rippling at the center of the World Tree.
Raon looked down and saw Sterin leaning against the World Tree.
His body was still there, but he could not feel the presence of his soul filling it.
“The purification ritual has begun! Everyone, stand guard!”
When the Grand Elder, who had regained his complexion a little, gestured, the elves gathered around the World Tree with a cold spirit.
Although the Grand Elder was a very stubborn old man, he seemed to be sincere in his regard for the world of elves.
Raon operated the ring of fire and looked up at the World Tree again.
‘Is this resonance?’
Just as the swordsman and the sword became one, Stelin left his body and became one with the world tree.
‘Shingeomhapil. Me and the sword become one… .’
When I thought about the day of the Heart and Sword Unity, I remembered the time I sparred with Stelin two days ago.
At that time, while throwing the requiem sword, the moment I thought that I did not want to end the sparring like this, the requiem sword caught my intention and followed the command to go down.
‘Now I understand.’
Because the will of the requiem sword, which did not want to lose, and the will of the requiem sword, which did not want to lose, were united, I felt like I was able to taste the sword, even if only slightly.
Raon’s hazy gaze quietly followed the traces of Sterin’s soul.
“La, Raon… ah?”
Siyan tried to talk to Raon but was stopped by Rimmer.
“brother?”
“You can’t touch this guy now.”
Rimmer pointed to Raon’s dreamy, blurry eyes and placed his finger on his lips.
“I was in a trance.”
“Wh, trance?”
“okay. “This damned guy goes through something that other people only experience once in their lives.”
He brought Siyan aside, telling her not to touch Raon.
Hwaaaaa!
As if to protect the world tree, Raon, it spread out its branches to block the sunlight pouring in from the sky.
“… … .”
Although the elder and the elders knew that Raon was in a trance, they did not touch him and just watched with narrowed eyes.
Rimmer laughed as he looked at the elder and elder.
‘It hasn’t rotted at all.’
I was planning on hitting them if they tried to interfere with Raon, but fortunately they didn’t seem to have any intention of moving.
When Rimmer smiled calmly at Raon again, there was a cotton candy crying alone without anyone noticing.
– Damn it!
Lars looked up at the sky and screamed.
-Why is this guy loved everywhere he goes? The main king suffers everywhere he goes and his abilities are taken away, so why is this guy the only one who is so happy?
This world was so crazy that I waved my hands wildly.
_My King wants to be happy too! and… .
Lastly, I shouted the most important words.
-This guy left without eating again!
* * *
Siyan chewed her lips as she looked at Raon in a trance.
‘Raon is amazing as expected.’
As soon as I saw Resonance for the first time, I became enlightened and fell into a state of no-self. It was something that I, a person without talent, could not have imagined.
‘The content in the book actually diminished that person’s abilities.’
While reading Raon Sieghardt’s biography, I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but in reality, Raon was much more than that.
Just by looking at him being greeted by the World Tree and kneeling by the Grand Elder, he was a monster that had gone far beyond humanity.
‘I have to protect you.’
As I was watching Raon from a distance to make sure he was not harmed, I heard the voices of other elves.
“That human being gains enlightenment as soon as he sees consciousness, but why does Shiyan remain the same?”
“That’s right. Even though I participate in the purification ritual every time, I still don’t have resonance… .”
“If Sterin dies like this, won’t the World Tree also become dangerous?”
“Why did such a high elf come out… .”
The elders and elves poured out blind criticism toward Siyan as if it didn’t matter whether he heard it or not.
“The future of the World Tree is bleak. It would be better to ask that person… .”
“Would you please shut your mouth?”
Rimmer glared at the elves and frowned.
“The ceremony hasn’t been completed yet, so why are you teasing me like that? “Close your mouth and stand guard.”
“Hmm… .”
“hmm… .”
The elves looked at Rimmer and secretly looked away. However, in the midst of this, they muttered that what they were saying was probably wrong.
“Those bastards.”
Rimmer spat and was about to approach the elves when Siyan grabbed his sleeve.
“brother. I’m okay.”
“but… .”
“Really.”
Shi Yan shook his head and told him not to do it.
“I’m used to it. And it’s not wrong.”
Although it was harsh, what they said was not wrong. If Sterin leaves, there will be no elf who can perform the purification ritual.
‘I’m really no help.’
As the elves said, Raon gained enlightenment after seeing it once, but I did not gain anything even though I continued to participate in the purification ritual. Regardless of talent, it was clear that he had nothing from the moment he was born.
‘But I’m not giving up this time.’
Because Raon told me that I got to where I am today because I didn’t give up, I didn’t want to sit down like this just for today.
Siyan went with her mother to the base of the World Tree where she felt the wind and leaned back.
I closed my eyes and let out the resonating breath that my grandfather had taught me.
‘hmm? ‘Something seems a little different.’
Strangely enough, I felt lighter in body and mind than usual.
‘I hope it’s not my fault.’
Siyan closed her eyes with a faint smile. She slowly went up and down, a red and blue haze hovering over her solar plexus.
* * *
Raon lifted his eyelids and smiled softly.
‘I understand a little bit.’
Thanks to seeing Sterin’s resonance in person, I gained some sense of what it means to become one with the sword.
Although I wasn’t able to achieve the unity of my body and sword right away, I felt like I had laid a small stepping stone on that path.
When I looked up, the World Tree was standing there, shaking its branches, just like before falling into a trance, and Stelin was sitting there, just as he had before.
‘It wasn’t as long as I thought.’
-It wasn’t long?
As I tilted my head, thinking it was fascinating, Lars looked up with a droopy face.
-Isn’t it long enough to bruise for a day? Are you really crazy?
Lars grabbed his collar and shook him, telling him to come to his senses.
-I’m starving to death!
‘day?’
Listening to what he said, it seemed like he felt that almost no time had passed since 24 hours had passed.
‘Then it was longer than I thought.’
While Raon was laughing, Rimmer came over waving his hand.
“You really never try.”
Instead of sighing, he had a smile on his face.
“How can you fall into a trance like eating a meal?”
“I was lucky.”
“When will I get that damn luck?”
Rimmer muttered that he was annoyed and waved his hand.
“So did you get anything?”
“I only have a rough idea of what union is.”
“That’s enough.”
He nodded, saying it was a great achievement.
“Then let’s just leave.”
“You’re leaving?”
“One day has passed and now my grandfather has completely entered into the purification ritual. It’ll be like that for two weeks. “There is no need to wait.”
Rimmer motioned for us to leave, saying that the elders and other elves would protect us.
“but… .”
“You are a guest and a benefactor. “There is no need to stand up to the border.”
He told me not to worry, grabbed my shoulder and dragged me away. Siyan, who was next to him, also wriggled and stood up.
“Are you okay, Siyan?”
“Ah yes.”
Siyan nodded slowly. The voice sounded a little weak.
Rimmer looked at Shiyan for a moment and then placed his hand in the air like when Stelin opened this space.
Wooooow!
A green light split the space, and Stelin’s tree house, which we had passed when entering, appeared.
“Well, I’ll go first…” .”
As soon as Siyan left the space where the World Tree stretched out, he nodded and ran to his house.
I still felt it, but I was able to move around really well with the blanket over me.
“Why are you like that?”
“Something like that happened.”
Rimmer sighed briefly.
“I will take him there. You go back to your dorm. “Let’s eat later.”
He made a gesture of raising a fork and followed Si Yan.
‘What happened?’
-When you were in a trance, the other bastards were talking shit to that elf girl.
Lars frowned and nodded.
‘What the hell?’
-You fell into a trance right away, but the elf girl was complaining why you couldn’t resonate after seeing the purification ritual countless times.
The guy twisted his mouth, saying that he couldn’t like people with earplugs.
‘I see… .’
Raon quenched his appetite while looking at Siyan’s back.
‘I wanted to check it properly.’
I wanted to find out whether the wall blocking Shiyan’s upper chamber was the wall of the realm that everyone has, or the energy of oral language that emanated from the World Tree, but I felt like I would have to postpone it until later.
-It’s done, go eat quickly! Haven’t you starved all day?
‘Because I starved all day. ‘How about Nadine bread?’
-Ji, are you really planning to kill the main king? If you eat that now, your intestines will get upset!
Lars shook his head and said, “Please come to your senses.”
‘i get it. okay.’
Raon smiled and nodded.
‘This time, I’ll eat the elf food you want to eat.’
-oh? What is wrong with you!
‘Because it’s time.’
Lars hated Siyan, who made Nadine bread, but when he learned that she was being mistreated by the elves for not having talent, he actually defended her. When she saw her human side, she wanted to take care of her even a little.
As I walked and talked to Lars, I arrived in front of the hotel before I knew it.
There was no sign that Yua and Dorian were still learning music.
As I grabbed the doorknob of the dorm to go in, the bushes on the right shook and a small baby fox jumped out.
“fox?”
Could a fox be here?
Rimmer had said that only creatures invited by the elves could enter this place. In other words, that fox could never be a wild animal.
‘no way… .’
-Hey!
Lars, who was smiling as he thought about the food the elves were about to eat, got scared and backed away.
-She’s a madwoman! She must be a madwoman!
The moment Raon swallowed his saliva, thinking the same thing as Ras, human language came out of the fox’s mouth.
“Raon!”
As expected, the baby fox was Merlin, but her voice sounded more urgent than usual.
“Get out of here right now!”
