The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1340 The Viking tribe executive who revealed his name as Knut nodded his chin as if to follow and turned his back. The sea wall carrying him and the Viking tribe lowered its height on its own and began moving by itself. "What are you doing! Follow them right away!" Alice sent a vigorous gesture to Lawaine, who was holding Azure Wind's helm, telling him to follow the Vikings. "If you lose them, you're really dead!" "Yes? Ah, yes!" Lawaine was staring blankly at Raon when he hurriedly came to his senses at Alice's shout. He wiped the cold sweat flowing from his forehead and turned Azure Wind's helm to chase the Vikings who were advancing on the waves. "Whew..." Alice let out a sigh of relief after confirming Azure Wind was moving to follow the Vikings. "Why did you go so aggressively today?" She slightly lowered her eyebrows, saying it wasn't like her usual nephew. "Because the Vikings have no contact with the continent. They don't know that war is about to break out." Evelyn shrugged, saying it seemed like Raon was scolding the Vikings. "No. They do have contact with the continent." Raon shook his head firmly. "Did you see the helmet that the Viking who revealed his name as Knut was wearing on his head?" Raon raised his hand and pointed to Knut who was advancing on the waves like a ship. "I saw it! The horn embedded in that helmet is a Sea Buffalo horn!" Alice nodded, saying she naturally knew that. "There are many Sea Buffalo in the western sea. It seems like they caught them and made it?" "That's right. The horn is from a Sea Buffalo. However, the iron used to make that helmet is not from this region, but from the North." Raon narrowed his eyes thinly as he examined Knut's helmet. "Northern iron has cold energy mana seeping into it, giving it a uniquely subtle blue tint." Having consistently interacted with blacksmiths including Vulcan, he definitely knew the characteristics of iron from each region. The iron of the helmet Knut was wearing was from the North. "If they were really living quietly in the depths of the western sea, they couldn't obtain such things. Those Vikings are..." Raon lowered his chin with conviction. "They're definitely still in contact with the outside world." Because he saw that, he had come on stronger than his original plan. "Hah..." Alice let out a hollow laugh as if dumbfounded. "Amazing. I didn't notice at all?" She shook her head repeatedly, saying that even though she was born in the North, she had no idea there were such differences in iron. "If you had also talked with the blacksmiths, Aunt, you would have noticed right away." Raon waved his hand, saying it was nothing special. "No! Even if you know such knowledge, applying it to the current situation is a different matter!" Alice shook her head vigorously, saying it was amazing. "Anyway, thanks to you, things are moving quickly. It's so refreshing that I feel at ease!" She smiled brightly, saying it was good that unlike when moving with her usual subordinates, she had nothing to do. "Then would it be alright if I move first in the future as well?" Raon looked at Alice with calm eyes. "What are you saying after already stepping forward!" Alice chuckled as she looked into Raon's eyes. "Thank you for giving me permission." Raon politely bowed his head after hearing Alice's playful permission. "Of course I should trust you. In fact, you've never failed." Alice smiled lightly as if she trusted Raon. "I keep feeling like my nephew's personality has changed a bit." She smacked her lips, saying Raon's personality itself felt different from before. "Your arrogance and impudence have increased a lot!" Alice narrowed her eyes as if examining Raon. "Of course I like your current appearance better! You've definitely become more Zieghart-like!" She nodded vigorously again, saying it was good that he had become more Zieghart-like. -This king thinks the same! Wrath went to Alice's side and raised his eyebrows. -You're too humble compared to the martial power you possess! Even now! He wagged his finger, saying he should be much more arrogant and impudent. "Is that so..." Raon listened to Alice and Wrath's words and felt a small resonance arising in his chest. No, in his soul, and slightly frowned. "No, he hasn't changed at all!" Krein jumped forward while holding his head. "That human is still a fraudster! What kind of vacation is this!" He screamed, saying he was deceived again this time. "Resort? Resort my ass!" "It was strange from when you said you rented an island!" "What are Vikings anyway!" "What kind of training are you planning to make us do this time by coming all the way here!" "You demonic fraudster!" The Light Wind Palace Swordsmen ground their teeth, saying Raon had been arrogant and impudent from long ago. 'They said I should become more arrogant and impudent?' Raon glanced at Wrath and drew a cold smile. 'I'll show you now.' He left words telling them to watch carefully and turned his back. "It's right that we're going to the western sea, and it's right that we're going to an island. Perhaps..." Raon gestured with his chin as he looked at the Light Wind Palace Swordsmen whose faces had turned red. "Do you have any complaints?" "Yes...?" Krein was preparing to curse when he gulped dry saliva at Raon's cold gaze. "If you have complaints, I'll accept them. Either apply for a duel with me, or get off this ship." Raon said anything was fine and placed his hand on Heavenly Drive. "Ahahaha..." Krein scratched his head and stepped backward. "Wha, what complaints could there be? I'm fine! I'm satisfied just with leaving the family!" Unlike before, he drew a smile for survival and waved both hands. "I, I have no complaints either!" "I've hated vacations since I was born!" "I'm happy to be able to train after coming all the way to the western sea! I'm happy to be Light Wind Palace!" The swordsmen also quickly spoke up to avoid Raon's cold eyes. "That's fortunate." Only after hearing those words did Raon smile lightly and turn his back again. "Grrr..." As soon as he turned his back, Krein and the Light Wind Palace Swordsmen ground their teeth with eyes full of anger and frustration. "That's a thug..." Martha let out a hollow laugh looking at Raon's back. "The one who torments the kids the most isn't me, but him, right?" She wrinkled her nose bridge, saying Raon should have received the nickname 'Rakshasa'. "...I agree." Even while deep in thought, Burren shook his head as if dumbfounded by Raon's behavior. "As expected of Raon..." Runaan clasped both hands tightly as if even Raon's fraudulent behavior looked cool. 'Did you see?' Raon winked at Wrath with one eye. 'I can be arrogant and impudent too.' -Huh...? Wrath gaped his mouth as if he hadn't thought of it. -You crazy bastard! Why are you showing your arrogant and impudent side to your subordinates! He screamed, saying he really couldn't get his mind straight. -What the hell are you doing! * * * Raon narrowed his eyes thinly as he watched the Vikings advancing across the sea on the waves. 'What is that? It doesn't seem to be aura?' Under the feet of the Viking who revealed his name as Knut, seawater was bubbling and naturally moving him, but it didn't seem to be due to the power of aura. A purer energy. It looked like nature's own mana was moving for humans. -This king thinks the same. Wrath slowly nodded his head. -Those Vikings don't seem to contain mana in their bodies, but move it in its natural state. He also smacked his lips, saying the Vikings seemed to operate mana in a mysterious way. 'If they do that, they could use mana almost infinitely.' He too had become able to use nature's mana after reaching Transcendence, but he couldn't handle it as naturally as his own body like that. That had only become possible after reaching the Absolute realm. -That's not it. Wrath shook his head firmly. -Unlike you, those humans' realm isn't that high. Even if they can freely operate nature's mana, there will be limits to their body and mind. He snorted, saying it was impossible for them to use it like himself. 'That makes it even more mysterious.' He hadn't reached the Absolute realm like himself, so he couldn't understand how they operated nature's mana so easily. 'If I could just uncover that secret...' Raon rubbed his fingertips and lowered his eyebrows. 'I might be able to raise not just my own, but the entire Light Wind Palace's martial power.' It was when he resolved to not only gain the Vikings' assistance but also uncover the secret of their power and clenched his fist. Swoosh! The Vikings who had been advancing endlessly as if they would cross the sea stopped the waves they were riding. Woooong! When Knut raised both hands, the space that had been filled only with the blazing sun and sea shattered, and a huge island revealed itself. Gooooooo! The entire island was larger than most cities, and dense forests covered the whole island, making it look like a jungle or wilderness. However, gray buildings and towers rising higher than the trees in various parts of the island showed traces that people were living there. "Huh...?" "Wooooow!" "To think such a huge island was hidden here!" "No wonder we couldn't discover the Vikings..." "But it seems more urban than I thought." The crew and swordsmen exclaimed in surprise at the sight of the island where the Vikings lived. "This is Scandia, where we Vikings live." Knut introduced the island where they lived and stroked his chin. "Dock the ship at the port." He raised his hand and pointed to a port that seemed to be made by weaving wood and plant stems. "A port..." Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the port Knut pointed to. 'As expected, there are ships coming and going here.' There were many traces of ships having been docked at the port. Vikings who ride waves even in storms had no reason to use ships, and seeing that there were no docked ships, outsiders had definitely come and gone. "You've arrived!" The Vikings at the port bowed their heads toward Knut. They too wore helmets on their heads, but unlike Knut, they didn't have horns attached. As initially expected, Knut seemed to be not an ordinary tribesman, but an executive or noble-like figure. "But those people are..." The Vikings on the island slightly tilted their chins as they looked at Azure Wind. "They are guests I brought." Knut introduced Raon and the Zieghart swordsmen, saying they were guests for whom he would take responsibility. "Ah, they are the chieftain's guests!" "Welcome!" The Vikings smiled, calling Knut a chieftain. "Chieftain? Were you a chieftain?" Raon opened his eyes wide as he looked at Knut. 'I knew he was in a high position, but to think he was a chieftain.' He let out a hollow laugh because he hadn't thought Knut was a chieftain. "There are many vice-chieftains. There is only one Chieftain." Knut calmly shook his head, saying he was not a chieftain, but a vice-chieftain. "Follow me." He gestured with his hand as if he would take them directly to the Viking tribe's land. "We can go right away?" Raon tilted his head as he looked at Knut's calm eyes. "Usually, such closed tribes need to get permission from the chieftain, don't they?" He showed suspicious eyes and tensed his fingertips. "Permission has already been received." Knut calmly stroked his chin as if he had already received the Chieftain's permission. "What?" "Actually, it wasn't me who accepted your proposal, but the Chieftain. He..." He looked intently at Raon and lowered his eyebrows. "He told me to definitely bring you." Knut spoke heavily as if the person who truly invited Raon was the Chieftain. "Sword Sage Raon Zieghart."
