The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 901
Chapter 901
‘That’s···’
Raon trembled his lips as he looked into Denier’s sparkling eyes.
‘What kind of laughter is that?’
The smile that Denier showed was a color I had never seen in my past or present life.
It felt like anticipation had finally come, but it also felt like a mockery, and it even gave off an empty feeling like a doll acting out human emotions.
“Lord Gwangpungjeon?”
As I was chewing my lips, I heard the voice of Chad, the non-concert host.
“yes?”
Raon hurriedly turned his eyes and looked at Chad.
“You have to go down now.”
As I looked down following his hand, the whirlwind next to me had returned to its original position.
The only people left on the stage were himself and Glenn.
“···sorry·”
Raon bowed his head to Glenn and Chad and then went down the podium.
“Even the Lord has moments when he gets lost in thought? Do you ever think of old times?”
Dorian grinned, as if he was glad to have something to tease him about.
“Beating the fool is the best······”
Runaan said, patting him on the arm.
“It’s not Daeju anymore, it’s Jeonju. It’s better to change the word from now on.”
Burren nodded his chin, telling Raon to raise his honorific.
“······”
Raon narrowed his eyes at Dorian, Runaan, and Burren.
‘Haven’t you all seen it?’
Seeing all the inspectors of the Gwangpungdae laughing, it seemed like he was the only one who saw Denier’s strange expression.
‘Las·’
Raon called out to Las by just turning his eyes.
-Of course I saw it.
Lass nodded slowly, not betraying his expectations.
-Desire, relief, and emptiness were all mixed together. Even the king does not know the identity of that human.
The guy frowned, saying that just thinking about Denier gave him a headache.
‘Are you and I the only ones who saw this?’
-The time that you smiled was extremely short, but since everyone here was watching your swordsmanship, no one would have seen your expression.
Las nodded, saying it was natural that he couldn’t see it.
‘I guess so’
Since it was the moment when he spoke about his feelings as the head of the household and took the oath, the only person looking at Denier would have been himself.
“Then I will end the promotion ceremony with this.”
Glenn turned his back after finishing the promotion ceremony himself.
Woohoo!
Storm war! Storm war!
Raon! Raon! Raon!
The Sieghardt inspectors and the audience once again gave Raon and Gwangpungdae applause and cheers.
“Gwangpungjeonju·”
Glenn gestured to Raon as the cheers died down.
“Now that the Gwangpungdae has become the Gwangpungjeon, we need to build a building and a training ground that are suitable for it. Do you have any thoughts on this?”
He nodded as if he could write anywhere that was empty.
“Then, can we develop a road from the 5th Martial Arts Field to Bukmangsan Mountain?”
The road from the 5th Yeonmujang to Bukmangsan is wide, so it seemed that if we developed that area, we could build new buildings and a Yeonmujang.
“Are you saying that you’re going to tear down the 5-link weaponry and build it?”
“No, I would like to leave the 5-armed unit as is.”
Raon shook his head firmly.
‘I want to leave it alone whether we use it or not.’
Limer cherished the place and the memories so much that he made the password to the safe a five-armed weapon.
I wanted to protect the 5-Warrior until the day Sieghart disappeared.
“Can you do a non-concert party?”
Glen nodded slightly and called Chad.
“I thought the Lord of the Wind Wind would say something like that, so I did some research in advance. It seems like it would be enough to upload a new training manual.”
Chad smiled faintly, saying that there was quite a bit of space.
“You did some research beforehand?”
“Yes, because Jeonju treasures memories.”
He bowed slightly, saying that he expected it.
“···thank you·”
Raon also looked at Chad and greeted him.
“No, this is also our job.”
Chad waved his hand with a calm expression.
“Then I will go first. There are many places where I need to get the blueprints.”
He left them both, promising to build the best building ever.
“He may be a little light, but he is trustworthy when it comes to handling things. There is a reason why the former chairman of the board of directors trusted him and retired.”
Glen nodded, saying it would be good for young people to make friends.
“Yes, I felt it too.”
Raon nodded while looking at Chad’s back.
‘At first I thought it was Karun’s work, but it wasn’t.’
Chad’s words and actions were so kind and careful that at first I thought it was Karun’s trick to get information from him.
But he was completely neutral, not on Karun’s side, and he did his best as a non-conference host, to the point where it was regrettable to have doubted him. It seemed that he would have to apologize soon.
“Congratulations again”
Glenn said he had been through a lot and gently patted my shoulder.
“thank you·”
Raon turned around and bowed to Glenn.
Ugh
As I was about to turn around again after hearing Glenn’s regretful voice, I heard rough footsteps from in front of me.
“Laon!”
“son!”
“nephew!”
Sylvia and Edgar ran towards him with their arms wide open, and Alice, with a broad expression for the first time in a long time, shouted, “My nephew.”
“Little brother!”
Sia waved both hands, calling her younger sister, as if following the words of Alice, who was her niece.
“Ha, one by one…ugh!”
He told them to come one by one, but the four of them simultaneously embraced him as if they were surrounding the criminal.
“master!”
“Congratulations”
“I knew you could do it!”
The maids, including Helen and Judiel, also congratulated her with tears in their eyes.
“Thank you everyone for your help.”
Raon bowed his head to his family and maids who had taken care of him since childhood so that he could become who he is today.
“You did well”
“That’s right. What did we do?···”
Sylvia and Helen shook their heads, saying they were not like that, but Raon did not wave back.
“Yua and Julius did well too.”
Sylvia sniffled as she hugged Yua and Julius who were behind Raon.
“That’s right. It must have been hard to train while working at the annex···”
“You really worked hard”
The maids also held Yua and Julius in their arms and held back tears.
“I was able to do it thanks to everyone’s help.”
Julius shook his head, his nose red.
“Yes! I’m pretty awesome!”
On the other hand, the child confidently placed his hands on his waist and lifted his chin.
The contrasting appearances of the two children brought a big smile to the lips of the people in the annex.
-As expected from a pineapple girl!
Las nodded as if he liked it.
-If you are the king’s subordinate, you should be so confident! It’s no fun if you only act humble like that!
The guy chuckled, saying that there was a reason why he liked the baby.
‘It looks good·’
Raon pushed away Las, who was muttering that he had raised the child himself, and looked at the other Gwangpungdae inspectors.
“I am now the former leader···!”
Runaan nodded his head heavily, saying that he was now the leader of the Gwangpung War.
“If you went from being the leader of the previous unit to the leader of the previous unit, you would have missed out on promotion···”
Lokan, Runaan’s father and the head of the Slyon family, lowered his eyebrows, asking if that was true.
“Just say it went well!”
Clara, Runaan’s mother, slapped Lokan on the back.
“······”
“······”
Karun and Burren just looked at each other without saying anything.
“Since the whirlwind has been transferred, you will probably become the vice-captain.”
Karun opened his lips first, narrowing his eyes.
“Yes? I, I want a side dish?”
Burren opened his mouth wide as if he didn’t understand.
“It’s not because you’re great, it’s because you’re the only one.”
Karun raised his hand and pointed to Marta and Runaan.
“ah····”
Burren swallowed dry saliva after seeing the fierce Runaan and the fierce Martha.
“The position of Bujeonju is not one where you can slack off behind Jeonju’s back. Rather, you will often have to take on the troublesome and difficult tasks instead of Jeonju, so you should prepare thoroughly.”
“yes····”
He answered, but frowned as if he had no idea how to prepare.
“Follow me. I won’t teach you. See for yourself and understand.”
Karun clicked his tongue briefly and turned away.
“Oh, yes!”
Burren followed Karun with a bright smile as he was promoted to the front.
“Now you too will get the position of the leader.”
The monster, whose face was red as if he had had a drink, waved his hand at Mark Gotten.
“If that happens, I intend to refuse.”
Mark Gotten shook his head firmly.
“You refuse?”
“Yes, I have never led anyone. I was not part of a group in the Gwangpungdae, so I think it would be better for me to be a law-abiding person.”
He clenched his fist, saying that he wanted to fight in an independent position like now.
“Well, that’s not too bad. But you do know that the guardians need to be more confident in their martial skills than the great and small ones, right?”
The monster shook his head briefly and lowered his hand.
“Yes, so I plan to focus on training for a while.”
Mark Gotten nodded, saying, of course he knew.
“Your eyes have gotten better. Good. Follow me. I will help you build skills that will not be ashamed of the name of the Guardian of the Wind War.”
“Elderly···”
“If you don’t like it, I’ll kick you out right away, so brace yourself.”
Dokai left the 5-Warband after leaving the bottle of liquor with Mark Gotten.
“Of course”
Mark Goetten followed behind, holding the bottle of liquor carefully.
“Oh my, thank you!”
“A gift? Aren’t these supplies from the South?”
“Hey, I didn’t do anything! Our Lord did it all!”
Dorian was surrounded by many people, receiving gifts and congratulations as expected from a yard boy.
Besides them, most of the Gwangpungdae inspectors were having a happy time receiving congratulations from their families or friends.
‘Over there···’
Raon turned his gaze to the two people who had the warmest smiles among them.
“From now on, call me Daeju! Father, even your daughter is called Daeju now!”
Martha raised her chin proudly in front of Denier.
“Then! You should call me not just the Lord, but the Lord!”
Denier nodded, saying that he would even use honorifics.
“At first, I wanted you to come to our Hyunmujeon, but now I can only say that you made the right choice.”
He erased his regret and smiled with eyes filled only with joy.
“Honestly, there were many days when I wanted to give up, but I was able to do it because of the Gwangpungdae kids and my father. Thank you.”
Martha lowered her head, revealing slightly tender eyes, not her usual rough expression.
“No, I was always happy thanks to you too.”
Denier gently reached out and hugged Martha.
He gave Martha a faint smile, but it was a smile that was the very image of a kind father, unlike the smile he had shown to himself.
“Congratulations”
Denier met his eyes and congratulated him in a small voice. It was a calm voice, but strangely enough, it sent shivers down his spine.
-Hey, it’s a little scary now…
Lasdo also let out a sigh as if he couldn’t believe it.
‘I don’t know·’
Even living as the assassin Raon, and even living as Raon Sieghart, I couldn’t read Denier’s intentions and thoughts.
It was more frustrating because I felt like there was something, but I couldn’t openly question or question it.
‘Because I’ve never actually done anything suspicious or been caught doing anything suspicious.’
Denier has never shown any suspicious behavior, although he has shown incompetence.
He escaped the audit that Glenn personally conducted, and it was impossible to openly suspect him because he was an executive who enjoyed better public support than he did.
Hoooowowow
As I bit my lip, a refreshing wind flowed out from the Jinhon Sword and enveloped me. As if telling me not to worry too much.
‘···That’s right·’
I nodded my head, feeling the cool and soft breeze.
‘We must make sure that something like that never happens again, Master.’
Raon clenched his fists, vowing not to lose anyone.
* * *
A tavern in a busy back alley of Cameloon, even though the sun has not set yet.
Raon’s name was heard at the end of a tavern bustling with rumors from all over the continent.
“Did you hear that story?”
A middle-aged man with black hair and eyebrows as thick as a caterpillar’s shook his chin as he lowered his beer mug.
“What story? Are there just one or two stories going around in Cameloon?”
A muscular middle-aged man with his red hair pulled back frowned.
“Don’t listen to those rumors! I’m talking about Raon Sieghart!”
A middle-aged man with black hair slammed down his beer glass. When he mentioned the name Raon, the noise in the pub became quiet for a moment.
“Oh, you caught the Four Swordsman? I heard about it, but I have to believe it······”
The middle-aged man shook his head as he picked up a peanut and ate it.
“Everyone knows that the usurper Raon Sieghart is strong, but the Four Swordsmen are different. They say that for decades, they were an unbreakable wall. Do you want to believe that a kid who’s not even thirty yet has caught him?”
He shook his head as if to say that it wasn’t true.
“Will the Four Swordsmen come out soon and yell at me to deny it?”
“It’s not strange to think that way. I thought similarly too. But····”
A middle-aged man with black hair leaned forward and shook his head.
“Evidence about him is coming out one by one.”
“evidence?”
“Yes. Raon Sieghart, who returned to the family, was promoted from Daeju to Jeonju. A cold-hearted person like the King of Bukmyeol would never reward Jeonju for false achievements.”
He lowered his eyebrows, saying he didn’t know Glenn’s personality well.
“Well, that’s true······”
The man in question nodded.
“There’s also the fact that the Black Lotus, led by Sageumma, has completely stopped moving. They say they’re not even collecting taxes.”
“Me, really?”
“Yeah. They say that the guys who were preparing for outdoor activities little by little have locked the door and are not coming out. There’s no reason for that unless the leader is dead.”
“Umm······”
He blinked as if he was entranced by the words of the black-haired middle-aged man.
“The last reason is the Four Swordsmen and the Four Black Lotus.”
“The Four Swords and the Four Black Lotus?”
“Yes, even among the Five Emperors and the Five Heavenly Kings, the Four Swordsmen and the Four Black Lotus are very concerned about their own rumors. If there is someone who spreads false rumors, they often go and behead them. But···”
The black-haired middle-aged man took a bite of the cold sausage and shook his head.
“You’re not doing anything about this. Why do you think you’re just sitting there, even though your reputation is falling to the ground?”
“···Because it’s true?”
“Yes! Since the Four Swordsmen were really killed by Raon Sieghart, there’s no way to respond!”
He nodded, saying that it was certain that Raon had killed the Four Swordsmen.
“I also heard about the battle between Laon Sieghart and the Four Swordsmen.”
“How about that?”
The middle-aged man who was caught opened his eyes wide.
“This time, I got the item from the Sieghart area. Rumors have already spread there.”
A middle-aged man with black hair took a long bite.
“How did that happen······”
He turned his eyes away as he was about to talk about the battle between Raon and the Four Swordsmen.
The pub, which was as noisy as a market street, became as silent as if it had become a library, and everyone’s eyes were all turned in this direction.
“Ahem! My throat is a little dry.”
A middle-aged man with black hair coughed and shook his empty beer glass slightly.
As a man who loved gossip and rumors, he knew that this was his chance to make a big profit.
“Master!”
“Two beers over there!”
“I’ll have two more drinks too!”
“Bring me some side dishes too! Put my name on them!”
“I’ll give you money! Get started!”
The drinkers at the tavern ordered drinks and snacks with their own money to listen to the story of the black-haired middle-aged man. Some even threw money at him.
“Huh! Then let’s start again.”
The black-haired middle-aged man drank the newly brought beer in one gulp and smiled.
“Okay, I’m curious. So tell me quickly!”
The middle-aged man who was caught shaking his legs as if his curiosity was rising to the top of his head.
“In fact, in order to strengthen his lost arm and morale, the Sageumma used his subordinates to····”
Because I was so focused on his story, I couldn’t even hear an ant passing by inside the tavern.
However, this situation did not only occur in this tavern.
As Roen moved south, the stories he had told were passed down through word of mouth, and Raon’s story naturally spread throughout the continent.
* * *
[The entire continent was astonished by your accomplishments.]
[All abilities increase by 10 points]
[The level of the characteristic increases.]
[The level of the characteristic increases.]
[The level of the characteristic increases.]
‘uh?’
Raon opened his eyes blankly instead of lowering his sword.
‘what’s this?’
I was just training in the training ground, when suddenly a reward message popped up.
-What is this!
Las, who was taking a pleasant nap after eating a ball of ice cream for dessert, suddenly woke up.
-Why did the reward suddenly pop up?
Lass shook his chin, saying he couldn’t understand.
‘The continent was astonished by my accomplishments…’
Raon narrowed his eyes as he saw the first message.
‘Is this the reward I got when the rumor of capturing the Four Swordsmen spread throughout the continent?’
In fact, it was not surprising that the entire continent was surprised because even he himself did not believe it yet. Of course, he had never thought that such a reward would come.
-Kyaaaaak!
Lass groaned, holding his head.
-This damn system! It seems like it’s only thinking about how to harass the King!
The guy shook his head, saying he was going to turn around in anger.
“hmm····”
Raon briefly looked at the reward, then grabbed the Jecheon Sword again and performed the Cheonryongong sword technique.
-Huh?
Las frowned at Raon like that.
-Are you not happy?
‘I’m happy’
I couldn’t help but be happy with the reward I got for free.
‘But even with that kind of compensation, in the end I have to become stronger myself.’
It is true that you become stronger because of the system’s rewards, but it is meaningless if your own power is at a standstill.
In order to protect everyone in the coming fight, we had to at least build up a force that could stand up to anyone from Shinjuoryeong.
-Anyway, I like it sometimes, and sometimes I don’t like it.
Las snorted with his arms crossed, his lips pursed, but his eyes showed a look of delight.
‘Because that’s right·’
Although he had defeated the Four Swordsmen, he still felt very lacking. Since there was no guarantee that he would win against the other divine spirits, including the comical one, now was the time to focus on training.
Chiririring!
While Raon was demonstrating his swordsmanship using the brain power of the Thunder Striker, the door to the training ground opened and Chad, the head of the non-reigning party, came in.
“Lord Gwangpung Jeonju”
Chad bowed to him, calling him by a title he was not yet familiar with.
“Lord of the Non-Feast”
Raon lowered his brain-powered sword and bowed his head to Chad.
“What brings you here?”
“The Lord has called the Lord Jeon”
Chad lifted his head, which had been bowed down. His eyes sank heavily.
“It’s about the black tower.
