Chapter 595
“Ugh!”
Siyan glared at Leiran running behind him through the forest.
“Why didn’t you tell me!”
“You were concentrating on the barrier, so I didn’t want to disturb you.”
Leiran looked into Siyan’s eyes and nodded.
“I hate you if you can’t speak.”
Siyan pouted her red lips.
“sorry.”
“Because it’s okay. “Just run fast.”
She ran in the direction of the World Tree, saying that she just had to go quickly.
Leiran narrowed his eyes as he looked at the watery shoes wrapping around Siyan’s feet.
‘You’ve really changed.’
Originally, Siyan was the least talented elf in Seifia.
He couldn’t fight, he couldn’t summon spirits, and he was so shy that he couldn’t stand in front of others.
But after summoning the Water Spirit King, her life changed completely.
As if the riverbank that blocked the waterway had collapsed, he began to treat the mana of nature as if it were his own, and a genius talent for martial arts arose, and no one in Seifia could keep up with elemental arts.
Less than a week had passed since the attack on Eden, and currently, the only elves in Seifia who could defeat her were Sterin and the Grand Elder.
‘He is a respectable person.’
Siyan lived his whole life being ignored, and even though he had power and talent in his hands, he calmly forgave his compatriots who had insulted him. The mindset itself was on a different level from that of the criminal.
However, there was a time when the wise and benevolent Siyan’s reason was broken.
‘Raon Sieghardt.’
Like now, if there was anything related to Raon, Siyan would do anything.
Even when Raon was lying down, they collected all the precious medicinal herbs from Seipia, made an elixir, and fed him.
It almost felt like that person was higher up than Seifia.
‘Actually, he’s a worthy person.’
If it weren’t for Raon, Seifia itself would have been reduced to ashes, so it was understandable that Siyan cherished Raon so much.
“Siyan. Please go a little slower. “It’s hard to keep up.”
Leiran smiled slightly as he looked at Siyan, who seemed to be riding the wind.
“Everyone is here! Cheer up a little!”
Contrary to Siyan’s words of encouragement to Leiran, he actually increased his speed. She advanced using her wind spirit and stopped tall in front of the barrier of the World Tree.
“ah… .”
Hundreds of elves kneel before Raon and shout that he is their benefactor.
As I faced that majestic sight, the words written in Raon Sieghardt’s biography tickled my head. Even though I didn’t see it in person, those scenes came to mind.
‘I have to write this.’
It was clear that the reason I was born was to see this scene and write about it.
Even if it meant giving money to the author of Raon Sieghardt’s biography, I had to write this part.
Siyan clenched his fists, vowing a new goal.
* * *
Raon’s fingertips trembled as he looked at the elves who showed polite respect.
Perhaps because it was under the World Tree, the sincerity of the elves touched my heart and gave me goosebumps.
‘Thank you, but it’s too much… .’
Although I played a big role in the Attack on Eden, I was never given this level of greeting.
-You idiot!
As I was about to wave my hand to refuse, Lars jumped out.
-Are you trying to be humble by just doing your job?
‘what?’
-Being humble is not always a good thing.
Lars raised a fat finger and pointed at the elves.
-All those ear-splitting words are sincere. Rejecting their greetings just because you’re a little uncomfortable is the same as ignoring them!
The guy frowned, telling me not to ignore the favor.
“hmm… .”
Following Lars’s finger, I saw the elves again. As he said, they were just expressing their gratitude.
Not accepting it because it was inconvenient was not only rude, it was tantamount to ignoring it.
‘Ha, I have days to learn from you.’
-Didn’t I tell you this before? This king is more humane than you!
‘I really don’t know if that’s true.’
Raon smiled slightly and pulled out the Jecheon Sword.
“Sieghardt’s Storm Trooper. Raon Sieghardt. “I accept Seifia’s greetings.”
I held the sword backwards. He drew his sword to his chest, pointing the tip of his sword at the ground. Sieghardt’s sword. He answered sincerely the sincerity that came to him.
Raon’s polite yet dignified manners brought a smile to Stelin’s face.
“Thank you for accepting my greeting.”
Stelin stood up. The other elves followed him and raised their heads.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Rimmer came up next to me and tapped my shoulder.
“In times like this, it’s your specialty to always take a step back and make the atmosphere awkward.”
He smiled coolly as if he was in a good mood.
“It can’t always be the same.
-Hey! Yamsaeng you bastard!
Lars screamed loudly.
-The king helped me!
Raon nodded, looking at Ras struggling.
“And there was this guy who told me to stop being humble.”
“I don’t know who it is, but you said something nice.”
Rimmer giggled and clapped his hands.
“I think he has a refreshing personality and only says the right things.”
– Risk!
Ras looked at Rimmer and cleared his throat.
-There are times when the guy with the ear plug says the right thing!
The guy grinned as if he liked it. I don’t know what kind of demon lord is so weak to praise.
“Raon Sieghardt.”
Stelin came forward and smiled softly.
“thanks.”
He thanked me one more time and patted me on the shoulder.
“Thank you too.”
“hmm?”
“I was able to win thanks to the guardian who taught me the techniques of Gamhwasi.”
This was sincere. If the requiem sword and the intention had not connected at the last moment, the winner would have been the Scarlet Flame Demon in the end.
“what… ?”
Stelin widened his eyes as if wondering what he was talking about.
“Well, you achieved that?”
“I was lucky.”
Raon briefly explained the battle with the Red Flame Demon.
“her… .”
When Stelin heard the situation, his chin trembled as if he couldn’t understand it any further.
“No matter how much the magic sword and the will were in sync, how could a low-ranking Grand Master wield the sword…?” .”
“Grandpa. “I told you so.”
Rimmer looked at Stelin’s raised eyebrows and curled the corner of his mouth.
“You shouldn’t think of my student as common sense.”
He smoothed Raon’s hair and shook his head.
“Just as there are high elves among elves, these are high humans. “Don’t use common sense.”
“I heard a strange noise again… .”
Raon looked at Rimmer and sighed.
“That could be… .”
But Stelin blinked as if he believed those words. It seemed surprising that she was able to succeed with this sword.
“It’s not like that. “I am an ordinary human being.”
Raon quickly waved his hand.
“I feel like it would be better to believe that guy’s nonsense than to say that a lesser Grand Master used the Igieo sword.”
Sterin pointed at Rimmer and let out a sigh.
“Plus, he’s also a contractor for the Fire Spirit King! “This will be the first person like this in the history of the continent!”
Erian came next to me and nodded loudly. Now we move on to continental history. He was an elf as tired as Rimmer.
“Oh, no.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to the right at the faint voice.
Her blonde hair, as if melted by the sunlight, flows like waves, and her blue eyes, as if touched by the early morning moonlight, reveal a faint color.
An overwhelming beauty that makes you forget your words just by looking into her eyes. She was outstanding even among the elves, who were said to be the most beautiful of all races.
“Si, Siyan?”
“Ah, four… .”
Siyan lowered her head with her cheeks turning red.
“Hello, Raon… .”
Even though she didn’t get under the covers, her voice was quieter than before.
“Now you’ve taken off the blanket.”
“More, thanks… .”
Siyan nodded, still looking at the ground.
“Siyan. “What do you mean by no?”
Stelin waved his hand as if to continue what he was saying.
“Ah, Raon is not a contractor of the Fire Spirit King.”
“Siyan. “What do you mean!”
Erian stomped his foot violently as if it was ridiculous.
“No matter what anyone says, Raon is a contractor of the Fire Spirit King! “Didn’t you see him fighting alongside the Spirit King?”
“No.”
Unlike when dealing with Raon, Siyan shook his head confidently.
“I heard it from Elaim.”
She lifted her trembling gaze and looked at Raon.
“Raon is the older brother of the Fire Spirit King!”
Everyone under the World Tree instantly stopped breathing at Siyan’s bizarre cry.
“uh… ?”
“What is that… .”
“Tongue, brother? “Not a contractor, brother?”
“Ugh… .”
Sterin, Rimmer, and Erian widened their eyes as if they were dumbfounded, while Raon closed his eyes tightly.
‘please… .’
It seemed like the strawberry-flavored candy spirit king had gone to the spirit world and told me my story.
“Why do you say Raon is the Spirit King’s older brother?”
Rimmer blinked rapidly, saying he couldn’t imagine.
“I don’t know about that either. As soon as Ifrit returned to the spirit world, he said that he would treat Raon as his older brother… .”
Siyan shook his head, saying that even the spirit kings did not know the reason.
“after… .”
Raon sighed as he heard those words.
‘That’s a good thing.’
I was worried about how to explain Ras, but fortunately, Ifrit didn’t seem to mention the important part.
Well, in order to explain the situation, I had to reveal that I had been preyed upon by Ras, so in a way, it was natural.
“Gye, you’re not a contractor, you’re my brother!”
Erian’s lips trembled as he looked at Raon.
“As expected, my eyes are not wrong! “I felt Raon’s spirit from the moment I first met him!”
He shouted that his sixth sense was the best among elves.
“That’s not important right now!”
The Great Elder pushed Erian away and stood in front of Raon.
“How on earth did you become the older brother of the Fire Spirit King?”
“Yes, that’s right. “Please speak up!”
“What have you done?”
The elders and elves also clung to the side as if they were curious about what had happened.
“that is… .”
Raon wrinkled his nose and sighed.
‘How do I explain this… .’
You should never tell the truth. As I was struggling to come up with my thoughts, a bright light suddenly flashed in the sky.
Hwaaaaa!
The World Tree spreads its branches like it did when they first met.
The magnificent energy of nature condensed between the transparent leaves, sprinkling brilliant and beautiful light.
Gooooooo!
The sphere of light that flickered like a shooting star slowly sank and rose as if riding a cloud in front of Raon.
When Raon stretched out his hand as if by instinct, the vivid light subsided and a fruit slightly larger than an apple appeared.
‘This… .’
This is the first fruit I see. There was a pattern on the shell that looked like overlapping circles, and it looked beautiful yet pedantic, as if it had been carved by an artist.
The color was red like a raspberry, and it was so appetizing that I wanted to put it in my mouth right away.
What makes the deepest impression is the scent. Even though it wasn’t cut, the mouth-watering sweet and clean scent tickled the tip of my nose.
“Oh, it’s fruit… .”
The Great Elder gaped at the sight of the red fruit.
“It’s the fruit of the World Tree!”
“Three, the world tree produces fruit… .”
“Is this the fruit of the World Tree?”
Not only the Grand Elder, but all the elves here trembled their lips as if they were astonished when they saw the fruit.
I heard that the fruit of the World Tree was a great elixir, but I didn’t know that it would be surprising even to the elves.
“It’s natural.”
Stelin swallowed dry saliva as he looked at the fruit of the World Tree.
“Contrary to the saying that it opens once every 100 years, the fruit of the World Tree is like a sacred item that is given only when the World Tree is full. “It’s no wonder those kids are surprised.”
He said in vain that he should be praised for not fainting.
“I can receive something so precious…” .”
-Take it!
Lars let out a scream-like cry.
-Take it unconditionally! You stupid bastard! The king said so, but are you being so humble and such a damn thing?
The guy frowned, saying not to ignore the World Tree’s favor.
‘Wipe the saliva from your mouth and talk.’
Lars was drooling like a flood and pretending to think of me.
-Sigh!
The guy quickly wiped away the saliva and ate his appetite.
-Anyway, take it unconditionally! Why are you so considerate to others when you suck up the King’s power like an anteater?
Lars raised his hands and said that he would be cursed for the rest of his life if he did not eat the fruit.
“under.”
Stelin shook his head as if it was absurd.
“You would be the only one who would say something like that in front of the fruit of the World Tree.”
“This is what he is like. “Uncharacteristically like Sieghardt, it’s very frustrating.”
Rimmer sighed and pushed back the fruit of the World Tree in Raon’s hand.
“This is yours. Since the World Tree gave it to you directly, you are the only one who can have this fruit. “All of us here are witnesses.”
“That is correct. “Take it.”
“When I see it right in front of my eyes like this, I have no choice but to admit it.”
“Oh, that’s right. Raon has to take it!”
Grand Elder, Erian, and Siyan also nodded.
Raon smiled slightly as he looked at the elves.
‘It all feels like the Great Lord.’
Although it hasn’t been long since we met, I feel like we’ve already become friends. Perhaps it was because the emotions were conveyed directly thanks to the World Tree.
“Then I will gratefully accept it.”
Raon held the fruit of the World Tree to his chest and bowed his head to the elves, including Sterin.
Hwaaaaa!
The widely spread branches of the World Tree flutter along the path of sunlight. It seemed like he was smiling with joy.
-Kuhehehehehe!
Ras burst out into a frivolous laugh as he looked at the fruit of the World Tree.
-The fruit of the World Tree! It’s worth coming to this boring place! Happiness came after Nadine Bread!
The guy showed joy as if the fruit of the World Tree had already entered his mouth.
-Stupid elves. Your stomach will be sore as if it were going to explode from having the fruit taken away by Yamsaengi!
‘No one seems to think that way?’
-It only appears that way on the outside! He was robbed of what was his, and no one is laughing!
Lars clicked his tongue, asking if he didn’t know that.
-Eat it right here and now before it gets stolen or lost! It’s a mockery of the idiots who made Nadin bread!
The guy seemed to hate elves because of the Nadine bread.
‘after… .’
It was time to sigh, thinking that he was such a troublesome demon lord.
[You have become a benefactor of the elves.] [You have earned their respect.] [You have achieved great achievements.] [All abilities increase by 25 points.]
A message appeared before my eyes, as if the settlement for this matter had finally been made.
-Keueoeook… .
The corners of Lars’s mouth, which had been smiling brightly, turned strangely. But the message is not over yet.
[’s achievement increases.] [’s achievement increases.] [’s grade increases.] [’s grade increases.]
The second was a message that the achievements of Mangagong and Glacia had increased. Perhaps because he endured the flames of the Red Flame Demon, his fire attribute affinity and fire attribute resistance went up in level.
[A title is created.]
Finally, after the title was created, the endless messages stopped.
‘It’s a good sound any time you listen to it.’
Raon clenched his fists as he felt vitality returning to his body that had not yet recovered.
-Off… .
On the contrary, Lars’ whole body was shaking as if he was crying while looking at the message.
‘Does your stomach hurt?’
Raon curled up the corner of his mouth as he looked at Lars shaking his shoulders while clutching his chubby stomach.
-OK! I’m going to rummage because my stomach hurts!
Lars shouted that he couldn’t stand it anymore and attacked with his teeth bared.
-Kyaaaaaaa!
* * *
Sieghardt Gaju match.
Chad, the non-banquet owner, looked at the report in his hand and his chin trembled.
“Well, they say Eden attacked Seifia. Even the Scarlet Flame Demon wearing the helmet of the former Fire Spirit King and the gray elves who betrayed Seifia. He came to visit me… .”
He swallowed dryly and read the words written in the report.
“this!”
Aris clenched her fists and turned her back.
“I’ll go!”
She said she was going straight to Seifia and got ready to jump out.
“It’s not over yet. “Keep reading.”
Glenn stopped Aris and motioned for Chad to read the report.
“Oh, yes. There, with the head of the Gwangpung Unit… .”
Chad read the report until the end and recited the story about Raon rescuing Seifia and receiving the fruit of the World Tree.
“this!”
Aris turned her back again, tying her head tightly.
“I have to go now!”
“It’s all over, where are you going? I have to find the Eden guys… .”
“It’s all over, we’re not going to have a festival! “If I were Raon’s aunt, I would definitely be treated as a state guest!”
She ran to the door, even walking.
“Whoa, Roen.”
“Hehehe.”
Roen appeared like a ghost and blocked Aris’ path.
“Please be patient.”
“Ahhh… .”
Aris couldn’t help but frown at Roen.
“I’ve never heard of someone using the expression ‘benefactor of the elves.’ “It is truly a feat.”
Cheryl sighed as she looked at the report in the hands of the non-congregant.
“Hehe, he’s even become a contractor for the Spirit King. I really don’t know how far he’ll go.”
Roen’s complexion hardened unlike usual as if he was surprised.
“Sigh… .”
The eyes of everyone in the throne room turned to the podium at the sudden sound that seemed to be holding back laughter.
“Didn’t you hear something strange just now?”
Aris tilted her head as if it was strange. She said nothing, because she knew who else was laughing.
“Well, I’m surprised by this part.”
Chad shook his head, pointing at the report.
“The World Tree gave us fruit directly, so it must be said that humans have ever seen the World Tree in history, and it is probably the only time they have received fruit from the World Tree.”
“You always exceed my imagination.”
Roen nodded as he listened to Chad.
“At this level, we might be able to engage in diplomacy with the elves.”
Cheryl laughed, saying it felt like a new path had opened up.
“I told you. I heard Raon was born with it. “If she becomes the head of the family, Sieghart will prosper incomparably with what it is now.”
“Hehehe!”
As soon as Aris praised Raon, a sound like he was suppressing laughter was heard again.
“what! who! “Is there anyone else on the podium?”
Aris went up to the stage and searched around. She didn’t think the owner of the podium had made that sound and she just blinked her eyes.
“What are you doing? “Go down.”
Glenn removed his hand covering his mouth and frowned at Aris.
“Oh, I really heard it… .”
Aris said it was strange and tilted her head.
“Hmm! “Now that Raon has become the benefactor of the elves, it would be a bit awkward to greet him normally, right?”
Glenn cleared his throat briefly and began speaking as if to welcome Raon.
“Well, of course! “We must welcome it grandly!”
Chad exclaimed and clapped his hands.
“you’re right. “He has achieved an achievement that will be of great help to Sieghardt’s diplomacy, so he should be treated accordingly.”
Cheryl smiled brightly and nodded.
“Hehehehe!”
Roen just let out a hollow laugh as if he was happy.
“Then I’ll bring you!”
Aris nodded and quickly ran to the door.
“You stay still!”
