“Ha, I think I need to meet him.”
“That guy?”
“My sister.”
“Ah, that black dragon named Misha?”
When Jin asked, Murakan nodded.
Murakan, who referred to his sister as ‘that guy’, frowned arrogantly as if he didn’t even want to think of it. Seeing that, Quikantel shook his head.
“I guess you felt like you were disqualified as a guardian dragon. In fact, if it wasn’t for the special formula for the spirit sword, Jin would have died. You need to calm down a bit. The last time I asked to visit you, you said you didn’t want to meet me and insisted on coming.”
The reason Murakan wanted to meet Misha was no different.
I wanted to regain some of my old strength, but I thought that Misha might know a way.
“Hey Quikantel. Aren’t you ignoring me too much before you?”
“I admit you were amazing a thousand years ago. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was the strongest among the Balaur. But now, to be honest, I’m just a patient. Your childhood has passed. Please face reality.”
“I can still use half of my old strength, right? The kid saw it himself this time.”
“Is that so? The method where you have to suck Jin’s aura for at least 10 minutes during the fight, right? Besides, you even passed out for a few days after you received a spirit from Jin and fought. I thought you died from overdoing it.”
“Can you use Enya for 10 minutes to forcibly cancel the incarnation of a god!?”
“I’m confident I’ll beat them all to death before those 10 minutes pass.”
“Heng! I can still clearly see you frightened by the demon stone on the deserted island at that time…”
“Tell me more. Just the head.”
Quikantel’s eyes widened.
“Fix it, Mr. Quikantel.”
“Your guardian dragon, you really need to wake up. He said he only remembers the old days and goes hooked, so how many times do I have to tell him to understand?”
Quikantel was genuinely worried about Murakan.
After the first reunion in Beament, Murakan always seemed to her weak enough to not be strange when he died.
Murakan was not unaware of that fact. It was just that he could not accept himself, who was perceived by her as a ‘being to be protected’.
Also, as Quikantel said, he felt a sense of crisis.
More and more powerful enemies are threatening Jin, but it seemed that what he could do was constantly shrinking.
It was especially shocking that this time Jin kept passing out while fighting Joshua. It was all the more so because it was right after he regained his old powers for a while after receiving Jin’s aura.
“…So you said you were going to find Misha. I’m sorry for nothing I’m worried after that. I met him at most, and if he says he doesn’t know how to fix my heart, there’s no answer.”
For Murakan, the very act of meeting Misha was a blow to his pride.
It was also like a nightmare. When he was a young dragon, Misha was a demon or a demon of hell.
The only person Murakan feared from birth was his own sister.
I haven’t noticed Misha since entering her prime, but they’ve never had a desirable relationship like Jin and Luna.
“Do you know where your sister is?”
“No, I don’t know.”
“Then how are you going to meet me?”
“There are many places to guess. The problem is that there are too many. The Krasi Mountains, the forests of the North Continent, or the old temples or lands of beastmen, all kinds of damp and dark places, top-notch taverns that handle wine from Mila that has been aged for over 300 years…
”
Then Quikantel shrugged.
“That’s right, Misha has always been like that since the old days. I always hid my identity and stayed in an unexpected place before appearing out of nowhere. Still, that guy mysteriously found it when he needed it. Are siblings brother and sister?”
“Little.”
“uh.”
“I’ll be away for about a month.”
“Why aren’t you coming with me?”
“You have a lot of work to do. You never know when Yulian will wake up.”
Another week had passed since returning to Tican, but Yulian had not yet woken up. Incarnation is unable to escape the forcibly released shock.
Also, Joshua’s side hadn’t shown any movement yet. Perhaps because of Shiron’s strict order, no one came to Tikan and no wanted orders were issued for Yulian and Kuzan Berris.
“It is, but.”
“Above all, if I take you, Misha will never meet me. They’ll make a fuss about what they’re trying to get by using the thousand-year contract as an excuse.”
Quikantel nodded.
“That’s right. Also, after he finished growing up, the first thing he did was take revenge on my sister.”
“Then isn’t it more dangerous to go alone? There is no one to stop your sister from attacking you.”
“Don’t worry about that. I’ll probably be away for about two months. If I don’t come back before December is over, find me then. It means that I was beaten or captured by Misha. I’ll make a road today and write down the places where I’ll leave a mark.”
What kind of irresponsible stories are you talking about?
I wanted to argue like that, but I added a little exaggeration, and it was the first time that Jin had seen Murakan look so serious.
Besides, when I took a quick look, Quikantel seemed very satisfied. She had been hoping that Murakan would visit Misha from before.
‘If I just met Misha and regained my old strength, it would be a great power, but I’m very anxious about spending it alone.’
That night, Murakan suddenly left Tikan. Unbeknownst to Jin, he had even left a piece of paper for Gilly.
(Dear Strawberry Pie.
I have decided to go on a long and rough road for a while. I wanted to discuss it with you, but this is a choice I must fully endure
… “Please tell me. And my children, piled up in a secret chest of drawers under the bed in my room, burn them and scatter them in the river. I
hope you don’t suffer too much while I’m gone. It’s a
miracle that I woke up from a boring sleep and met you and the little boy.” When we return, just like we promised back then, let’s go on a trip together…)
Gilly showed Jin the spleen letters and laughed.
“Where has Bocchan Murakan gone? It’s almost a puberty sensibility.”
“I said I was going to see my sister, but I didn’t expect to go without a word at night. Aren’t you in the room?”
“Yeah, Yuria said she saw it fly away a while ago.”
“Um, by the way, did you two decide to go on a trip? It’s written there.”
For some reason, Jin had to experience the strange feeling of asking that question.
Gilly was rereading the passage several times, unable to hold back his laughter.
“no! Have I been thinking about it for a long time? I was confused about whether I had made such a promise with Murakan.”
Gilly had never made such a promise to Murakan. In other words, it is a word that Murakan made up at will.
“Ah, I’m dying of laughter… I’m sorry, Bocchan. You might be upset, but I laughed out loud.”
“Oh no, it’s okay.”
When Jin smiled awkwardly, Gilly laughed for a long time.
On the other hand, Quikantel was looking for alcohol with a rather distraught face, as if he was worried about Murakan.

The news of Kuzan and Veris came before Yulian, who had been imprisoned in the mansion’s dungeon, woke up.
“Again, Confucius was right. A person presumed to be Kuzan Marius has appeared in Delki Kingdom.”
“Tell me in detail.”
Jin jumped up and said.
“I heard that right after Shucheron’s ordination ceremony ended, poison was suddenly being circulated among the mercenaries of Delki Kingdom at a low price. After confirming that there was a small article in the newsletter, we hurriedly dispatched members to find out.
Casimir judged that it was Kuzan’s signal to Jin.
“Of course, it may not be Kuzan. It could be that an unknown poisoner is running a mundane trade. But, of all things, it is the kingdom of Delki. The hometown of Marius, the survivors of the sacrifice of the moon. This is where Confucius first met them.”
After the Blue Bird Islands, colleagues were still unable to pass judgment on Joshua.
Although the hypothesis of cloning is supported, there is nothing to be sure of, so the strange anxiety is not washed away.
In the meantime, the information he was able to obtain from Kuzan and Veris was nothing short of sweet rain to his colleagues.
“I have to go right away. Please prepare a transit gateway.”
There was no need to worry. If it’s confirmed as another poisoner, I’ll just have to come back.
But I had to move as quickly as possible.
“We must unconditionally secure their safety before Joshua!”
If Kuzan and Berris were to be saved and needed to find out information for Jin, it was the exact opposite for Joshua.
There is no way that Kuzan and Veris are unaware of the fact that their lies were exposed because of the fact that they met Jin in the Blue Bird Islands.
‘That guy Joshua must have asked for this information. And he’ll try to get rid of the hounds that haven’t returned.’
Gin and Casimir Alisa and Quikantel.
All four decided to go to Delki. It was a party with the intention of colliding with Joshua’s forces.
Fortunately, the weather was fine enough to use the movement gate, and the party was able to reach the Delki Capital within an hour.
“We’ve sprayed the crew, but it will take at least a few hours before we find the poison seller. We have to run on our feet together.”
Casimir opened the map and said. It was a map where the members of the Seven Colors marked the location of each mercenary group and the main characters.
No matter how great the turkey’s ability was, there was a limit to collecting information on the streets right away. No matter how short a day is, a few hours are all you need.
After thinking for a moment, Jin shook his head.
“Then it’s too late. Joshua should already be on the move. Delki is actually the land of Runkandel…” After
thinking for a while, Jin continued as if something had come to mind.
“I have to go see Prince Laika.”
The 3rd Prince of Delki, Laika.
Even when Jin first fought Kuzan, he was wise in many ways and was promised to Jin to return all shares in Delki Gold Mine in the future.
Jin intended to visit him and find the poison seller immediately. In the end, any mercenary group could not operate without a license from the kingdom, so receiving his support was the surest and quickest way.
‘If Joshua hasn’t already met Prince Laika or King Delki, we can find them first.’
