The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 251
Chapter 251
Raon looked down at the flowing river from the top of Belga’s fishing boat.
‘It’s a dungeon…’
It’s been a while.
Generally speaking, dungeons are divided into two types.
The first type is for monsters to form clan areas underground or in caves to avoid the eyes of their enemies or to create greater power.
The second is for a wizard with excellent skills to create his own hideout to conduct magic research without anyone interfering.
If you ask which of the two dungeons is more dangerous, of course it’s the latter.
The former is easy if you check what kind of monsters are in the dungeon, prepare countermeasures for those monsters, and attack them.
However, the wizard’s dungeon is different.
Wizards protect magic research, but they are more sincere than anyone else, so they set up countless barriers, trap magic, and institutions.
It was no different from being a moth rushing into the fire because I had to go in without knowing what magic was used and what organs were installed.
‘I went a lot.’
Derus Robert was also interested in collecting artifacts and elixir wizards’ research, so he sent the shadows after finding the wizard’s dungeon.
In his previous life, without exception, he had explored many dungeons. I have passed countless times of death, and there have been many times that I have left scars that never go away in my life.
As I risked my life to enter the dungeon, I was able to grasp the patterns of the barriers and traps that the mages set up in the dungeon.
The reason why I had time to go to the dungeon of the famous wizard called Lohengrin was because of those memories of my previous life.
‘There’s a good chance there’s an elixir.’
Lohengrin was one of the heroes who defeated Merlin, the Witch of Betrayal, and the monster army, and was the best water magician on the continent.
If it was a dungeon left by such a wizard, there was a high possibility that various elixirs and artifacts would remain.
‘The problem is….’
A lot of time has already passed.
The story of the dungeon must have spread to many people, as Lecter and Roman, who were at the headquarters of the North and South Alliance, moved after hearing the rumors.
In particular, since the Norris region was close to neutral, it was clear that many forces had gathered here and there.
It was honestly not easy to find the location of the dungeon and find the artifact faster than those who entered first.
‘Still, there is an advantage.’
Since a lot of people moved, you should be able to find the dungeon right away to save time by just looking at the traces.
-Turn off….
Raon was making a plan when he heard Lars’ low moaning. I looked to the side and saw him resting his chin on the railing, sighing.
‘Are you still doing that? When I get back, I’ll prepare a set of pineapples for you?’
– It’s not like that! Do you think the main king is an insectivore?!
‘uh? I’ve never seen you worry about anything other than food.’
So far, the only time I’ve seen Lars worrying is in front of the menu board. It was surprising that there were other concerns.
-This bastard is really…
‘Then what’s worrying?’
I grabbed Lars who was about to have a seizure and asked.
-That Lohengrin you said. The name keeps coming to mind.
‘It reminds me?’
-Yes. It’s a strangely familiar name.
‘You don’t call anyone else by name.’
Lars doesn’t say his/her name when calling someone. Burren calls them nicknames that make use of their characteristics, such as calling Rimer an ear piercing. He was the only one calling him by his name.
-Even the king doesn’t know. It’s definitely the first time I’ve heard the name, but it feels strangely familiar.
‘Haven’t we met before?’
There was no way I would be familiar with that name unless I met him.
-Ummm, that could be true, but…
Lars shook his head as if he wasn’t sure.
“The sub-lord.”
Dorian came over just as I was thinking that everything was fine. In order to take all the artifacts from the dungeon, of course I brought my pocket.
-Pocket to a colleague…
Lars shook his head in vain.
– No matter how you look at it, you are the real devil.
‘I’m calling them by nicknames in a friendly way like you.’
-Friendship is a piece of shit! Don’t you think of it as a real pocket that takes out things on its own just by calling its name?
‘That’s…’
There’s nothing to say about that. Because Dorian really read my mind and brought out the things I needed.
“why?”
Raon turned to Dorian after biting Lars, who muttered that he was a demon.
“Am I really okay?”
“what?”
“This is my first dungeon. There must be all sorts of traps…”
Dorian’s lips trembled in concern.
“are you okay. If you read the flow of mana carefully and keep your ears open, there won’t be any big problems.”
It’s not just a noise. Sorcerers twist nature’s mana very minutely to create magic traps and barriers. If you can read the small flow of mana grains, you can break through the dungeon without any problems.
‘That’s also my specialty.’
Since there is a ring of fire, he was more confident in reading the flow than a warrior at a higher level.
“I am at peace.”
Raon patted Dorian on the shoulder, who was still terrified, and headed to Belga on the deck.
“Are you here?”
Belga and his crew nodded.
“As you said, it seems that a dungeon has been created in the Norris area. It is said that a large number of warriors and wizards moved.”
He told me a story about the Norris area, saying he had asked the passing ships.
“There were well-known forces, and there were places that were not well known.”
“I guess so.”
Raon nodded. Lohengrin is a wizard who left his name in history. Rumors spread that his dungeon had been discovered, so it was only natural that countless warriors and wizards flocked to it.
“When do you say they started gathering?”
“It increased little by little in the early morning and early morning, and then increased to the point where it was difficult to set foot on it from noon.”
“It’s dawn…”
The forces that moved first at dawn were the ones with the power and information, and the ones who gathered after lunch would be the goofballs. Looking at the time, it didn’t seem too late.
Raon clenched his fists as he looked at the Norwich region in the distance.
‘It’s possible enough.’
* * *
A grand battle where the skin of Mr. King Serpent climbs forty steps without even the slightest wrinkle.
In front of the blue pillars erected on both sides, warriors emitting powerful air waves were standing in a row.
“…That’s why Tiller is said to have been killed by Raon.”
Lecter stood in the middle and told the story of Raon and Tiller to the North and South Alliance officials.
“T-Tiller is dying? To Sieghart’s kid?”
“I heard he’s 18, but he’s crazy…”
“Does he not have a stasis machine? How can you rise to a lower rank as soon as you become a Master?”
“Tiller was on the verge of intermediate. It’s possible that it’s not the lower class, but the middle class.”
“It’s even more surprising that you made a three-year pact with your father. It’s not an idea that an ordinary soldier would do. It is the momentum of a hero.”
The North and South Alliance cadres were more interested in Raon’s strength and character than the story of the dead Tiller.
“Chapin.”
A calm voice flowed from the platform at the top of the stairs. His voice was low, but it had the power to silence everyone in the room.
“yes! Lord.”
A middle-aged man standing in the third column on the right lowered his head.
“Make sure to investigate whether the story of Mangekchaeju is true.”
“yes!”
The middle-aged man nodded again and went to Daejeon that way.
“Cheer up. What was Raon Sieghart’s actual level of force?”
The eyes of the leader of the north and south, shining on top of the forty steps, turned to Lecter.
“He looked like a low-class master.”
Lecter lowered his head, recalling Raon’s inaction.
“Tiller was on the verge of intermediate level, but he was a lower level master. Lost that to an 18-year-old?”
“It’s not just a loss, it’s like an overwhelming loss. There were no major injuries to Raon.”
“Funny.”
There was a strange interest in the voice of the North and South Leaders.
“Cheongwu’s martial arts and that ridiculous existence are also interesting.”
“Why…”
An old man with red skin, standing in front of the second pillar on the left, came forward. Lips were quivering.
“Why didn’t you kill him!”
“Didn’t I tell you? Sieghart’s lightsaber was alive and well, so if we fought as it was, it would be dangerous for us too.”
“Tiller is one of the heirs of the Civil Alliance! Even if you guys died, shouldn’t you have slit his head! 3 year contract! Why did you do such a crazy thing!”
The red-skinned old man clutched his head and screamed.
“It was Tiller who caused the problem in the first place. He didn’t act like a hero, he acted like a swindler. The justification was running and the strength was equal, so it was a loss to fight.”
Lecter endured the old man’s bloody spirit and spit out his words to the end.
“problem? Aren’t they monsters, not humans? What’s wrong with killing them and using them!”
“The problem is that they attacked merchants and residents using the Qingru tribe. That would cut off our own food line and throw the honor of the two Koreas into the gutter. Mr Siran. Calm down…”
“Shut up!”
The battle itself shook at the cry of an old man called Siran.
“Roman! You are a problem too! If you are now, you should have been able to catch enough of Sieghart’s lightsaber! He must have been blinded by the talent of that kid named Raon and sent him away!”
“Don’t say things you haven’t seen yourself. Vice Wonju.”
“what? Now you are me…”
Roman and Siran both cheered up at the same time. Daejeon began to shake as if it would collapse.
“stop.”
The two of them lost their energy at the low voice they heard from the top of the stairs and stepped back.
“Falcon Lord! Meng’s heir is dead. We can’t go on like this!”
Siran came forward and put his hands together.
“This old man will lead! Declaration of war so that Sieghart can be killed…”
“No.”
“Lord!”
“It’s been a while since Sieghart stopped walking, so the other little ones can say that. But those are not words that will come out of the mouth of the deputy head of the Senate.”
The voices of the North and South Leaders were filled with cold conviction. Everyone in Daejeon shuddered.
“You must know better than anyone what Sieghart is like, right?”
“The oars stopped and we moved on! You don’t have to be afraid of Sieghart anymore!”
“Is Glenn Sieghart alive?”
“That’s…”
“Killing that young thing doesn’t guarantee that the King of the North will move. But if he moves…”
The voice of the North and South Leaders rang low.
“Half of the blind will be burned to death in an instant. Is that what you want?”
“Kkeuh…”
Siran couldn’t answer and bit his lip.
“The justification is also on Sieghart’s side. I don’t know how, but if the story spreads that you manipulated the Qingru tribe to attack ships passing through the river, you’ll only lose the trust of your main blindness. Wait three years later, because Roman will take care of that kid.”
“Disciple Hu-wook is dead, but you must be really calm.”
Siran looked up at the peaceful gaze of the North and South Leaders and gritted his teeth.
“I saw Bu Won-ju’s face and gave him a lot of opportunities. I don’t want to comfort the soul of an idiot who kicked a good opportunity and dug his own grave.”
The pupils of the leader of the north and south swayed coldly as if the wind of the North Sea had dwelt on them.
“I…”
Siran bit his lip.
“I can’t stand it!”
He spurned his seat and ran out of Daejeon.
“I’m not the kind of person to just be there, so should I go after it?”
Lecter bowed his head.
“You don’t have to.”
The leaders of the North and South shook their hands slowly.
“Because the fear of Glenn is the biggest embedded in Buwonju.”
“Ah…”
“If it still moves…”
He looked up at the door Siran had opened, curling up his mouth.
“I have to admit the price of blood.”
* * *
Raon and Dorian got off the ship as soon as they arrived in the Norris area.
“Please be careful!”
“I will be waiting for you here!”
“take care!”
I waved at Belga and the sailors, who nodded, and left the riverside and headed for the main road.
There was no one passing by, and the gray mist obscured the view of the surroundings.
“How do I find a dungeon when no one is there?”
Dorian gulped at the empty road.
“wait.”
Raon knelt down and looked at the footprints on the street.
‘It must have moved to one place.’
The reason why Lohengrin’s dungeon is known is because there is someone who has a map. Since the location has already been found, there must be a common direction that many people have moved.
Raon crawled and picked out the direction the mass of people had most recently moved.
‘northwest.’
It was dizzy because there were so many people on the road, but the most people moved today to the northwest.
I looked up and saw the direction the people were moving. The fog was so thick that only the shape of the mountain was barely visible. Most of those who visited Lohengrin’s dungeon seemed to have headed there.
“let’s go.”
Raon got up from his knees and called Dorian.
“yes? did you already find it? Are you so dizzy?”
Dorian surveyed the messy ground and gaped.
“It’s just confusing because there are so many, but you can do it too.”
Raon laughed and ran towards the mountain first.
“I can’t do it…”
Dorian mumbled, then followed suit.
After running for a while, the beginning of the mountain appeared. Here, opinions were divided, and footprints were scattered all over the mountain.
“Is it too dizzy here?”
He frowned as he examined Dorian’s footprints.
“Sure…”
Raon nodded. The footprints, large and small, were stamped so intricately that it was hard to see where to go.
After turning on the senses of the tale, I tried to spread my senses. Countless people were moving here and there at the top of the mountain like footprints.
“Tsk.”
Raon clicked his tongue. Unmanned soldiers and wizards spread like ants, so it was impossible to locate the entrance to the dungeon.
“What should I do at a time like this?”
Dorian must have sensed it as well, lowering his eyebrows.
“I have to look further down.”
“Down?”
“okay. those who came first. We need to see where those with information and power have gone.”
Sweeping down the footprints with my hand, I looked at the traces of those who were the first to climb this mountain today.
Because they moved with speed rather than stealth, a very subtle reverberation of mana remained on the floor. Using the ring of fire, he looked for traces of that mana.
‘Is it east…’
Most of the footsteps, which were at the bottom and were taken by the powerful footsteps, were toward the east.
I opened my eyesight again and looked east where the footprints were heading. A little more people gathered around the canyon where the mountains overlapped than in other places.
‘There it is.’
Raon stood up confidently. I took Dorian and headed to the place where people were gathering.
Soldiers and wizards were spread around the canyon, and the inside of the canyon was thicker than other places, so it was impossible to see inside.
‘Barrier.’
That blue haze is not natural. It was a barrier created by twisting the flow of mana.
‘It seems to have confused the location.’
It seemed to have created a barrier of mist and fog that could not be found by using water attribute mana.
‘I can go.’
I closed my eyes and grasped the flow of the barrier. Since it was a barrier made with water attribute mana, it seemed like it would be easy to break through.
-Keep…
Lars let out a short moan as he looked at the fog.
‘Why again?’
– No.
The boy shook his head as he scanned the barrier with a frown on his face.
“Please pay attention for a moment!”
As Raon grabbed his sword bottle and tried to approach the barrier, the brown-haired middle-aged man in the center raised his hand.
“Now, in that dungeon, not only are the famous strongmen, but also Yukhwang and Oma. There is no point in keeping us in check.”
“Um…”
“Sure…”
Everyone who was shooting momentum at his words fell silent.
“Now is not the time to keep ourselves in check, but the time to work together to break through the barrier and enter! Cooperate as East Islands running together on the continent…”
In short, it is a story of responding to the strong by joining forces. In fact, it is a very common story that small and medium-sized organizations unite when information about dungeons or treasures is released.
But this is never a good way.
Even when united, there is a difference in power within. It was common for the weak to take on the difficult and dangerous work, while the strong saved their strength behind the scenes and betrayed them.
‘It’s slow there.’
The floor is full of footprints that have already entered the barrier. Normally, it wouldn’t be bad to stick behind them and use them, but right now I don’t have the time.
It was a time to move faster than anything, regardless of whether or not they showed their power.
“Thank you all for agreeing! Strengthen your will and inherit Lohengrin’s legacy…”
When the people gathered formed an alliance, Raon passed them and headed for the barrier.
“for a moment! Where are you going!”
A middle-aged man who became the leader of the coalition stood in the way.
“I’m trying to enter the dungeon.”
“This is the place our alliance took first! You cannot enter unless you are with us.”
“The people who actually found this place first must have already entered?”
Raon gestured towards the inside of the barrier.
“That means we want to unite. Together we can go safer and farther!”
The middle-aged man held out his hand with a forced smile.
“It looks like you’ve built up your own sword skills, so you too…”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t intend to go far. I just want to go quickly.”
“Then I can’t send you. It’s stupid to let someone go in front of us…”
Raon cut off the middle-aged man’s words and pulled out the Celestial Sword.
Wow!
The flow of the barrier itself split and a tunnel emerged between the canyons.
“Oooh!”
“Did you just split the barrier?”
“What is this…”
“It’s so crazy…”
Raon twisted his chin as he looked back at the soldiers with their mouths open to the point of tearing.
“What did you just say?”
“Oh nothing!”
The quick-witted middle-aged man shook his hand quickly in fright.
“You’d better go back and not waste your time.”
Raon’s eyes turned red as he gazed at the dark cave.
“Because I don’t intend to miss anything in there.”
