Chapter 251 Chapter
77. The villain (8)
Ziple was now only interested in killing Bamal and restoring the prestige of the family.
They don’t even care about the images that have fallen to the bottom.
Too many misdeeds were made known to the world by Barmal. If Barmal couldn’t be removed, the prestige of the world’s No. 1 family would have to be crushed.
Of course, if Jin doesn’t reveal his identity, he’ll pass over Carl’s death as an excuse.
“Anyway, I will become a regular jockey soon, so as long as I hide well until then, there will be no problem. I’m sure there’s one place to hide.”
Jin looked at Casimir and shrugged.
“Anyway, isn’t the head of Zipline doing too much for his son? It’s not enough that I sent you to die after being framed, even assassinated to find out your identity? There is no immorality like this.”
“I’m starting to think that maybe it’s a fake transformed by Bouvard Gaston.”
“Probably a real sword, Sir Casimir. If it was a fake, the moment the fact was revealed during the interrogation, it would be a situation where Kingelo would be in trouble, and there is no reason to go so far in the yard that turned hostile to Zipple.”
The pinnacle of heartless and dirty magic.
Jean defined Kelliac Zipple as such.
However, even if there were negative formulas, it was a ‘peak’. An opponent that Jin can’t handle yet, and even Shiron doesn’t carelessly hit.
I felt a chill run down my neck at the thought that he would soon find out who he was.
If the land that Ziple had touched wasn’t ‘Seongkuk Bankela’, Jin would not have revealed his identity.
Otherwise, Keliac would have grabbed him and decapitated him before he could hide in safe ground.
On the one hand, it was also expected.
How excited the world would be if Runcandel’s reserve jockey won a ‘decision victory’ in his first confrontation with Keliac Ziple.

Since Carl’s death, Ziple has not made any explanation about the Holy Kingdom.
Even though Rani and his loyal subjects knew that the real beast that ruined the country was Jiple, they did not have the power to punish them.
As the truth-finding was delayed day by day, the curiosity of the international media, which had been hot, was also gradually subsiding.
On the other hand, the pens of the Lutero Magic Federation poured out articles favorable to Zipple every day.
Of course, Hufester’s pen counter responded with an article that cut down Zipple, but it didn’t mean much.
Anyway, even if they weren’t in the Holy Land, they waged war every day on the ground, and each other’s families in their respective lands came through as people who would kill each other.
The interest of outsiders, who had been like fireworks, was quickly fading.
In particular, the nobility of each country did not even appear in the square where Rani and his subjects were.
It was the judgment that there was nothing good to stand out in Ziffle’s eyes.
It is absurd, of course, that Ziffle paid a formal price for killing Carl Ziffle.
However, the great powers had the power to make an absurd situation even more absurd.
If you set your mind to it, you can erase the voices of the weak victims as much as you like, and the power to punish even the third parties who subtly sympathize with them.
Neutral opinion forces were well aware of that fact, so they were now looking at Ziple again.
Also, this calculation was included in the heads of the neutrals.
This Seongguk incident will be a big dark history for Zipple, but there is no flawless power anyway.
When Ziple eventually calms down, it will release money and people and make the pockets and mouths of neutral forces sweet.
Just turn away and I won’t take care of you.
Ziple always used to soothe Neutral in that way whenever there was a problem.
Runkandel, on the other hand, has always had a reign of terror. As the two families had different inclinations, there was a big difference in the way they handled the world, and obviously, Zipple’s method would be more effective in this case of Seongguk.
Ziple’s sailboats laden with gold were entering the territorial waters of the Holy Kingdom.
It was compensation for the interference in internal affairs by ‘those who followed Carl Ziple’ apart from the death of Carl Ziple.
The amount of compensation was far beyond imagination.
If you receive it, the castle can secure the budget without worrying about 30 years. However, Rani naturally refused to pay the reward, and the loyalists shed bloody tears and gnashed their teeth.
“Those bastards know the Holy Land. What the hell do you think humans are…!”
The subjects also vomited anger with blood vessels in their necks.
Giple paid no attention to such a reaction and silently placed gold on the port of Seongguk.
As if it doesn’t matter who takes it, as if anyone wants to steal this gold, as if everyone wants to see this gold and roll their eyes.
As evidence of that, Ziple did not have a single person guarding the gold bar.
Gold ingots piled up like a castle in the center of the harbor were shining brightly.
not common people Even the king of a country would not be able to even look at it for the rest of his life. The enormous gold bar aroused not desire but a sense of intimidation.
In the end, even if Seongguk does not accept the gold bar, Ziple will not collect it again.
“You’re fucking money right.”
Jin looks at the gold bar with his arms crossed.
It was visible in his eyes. What will happen in the future if Seongguk does not receive that gold bar?
“Even in the lair of yellow dragons who are obsessed with gold, it would be difficult to find gold ingots like that. Hey, if that’s the case, how many limited spring books are there?”
“Crazy what? Chunhwa house? How could you think of such a thing?”
“just…?”
Gently, Jin shook his head.
“Even as a rule of thumb, if you manage it well for 30 years, it’s gold enough to cover the budget of the kingdom for 50 years.”
“I guess so.”
“That means if you don’t get this, I’ll make you suffer for the next 50 years.”
If you receive this and cover up this incident on your own, if you turn your eyes away from the uncomfortable truth once, it will make the kingdom rich.
If that is not the case, I will thoroughly cut off the financial line of the Holy Kingdom.
As Jin said, the gold bars placed in the harbor had that meaning.
“If you let go of pride and vindictiveness, you will lead a wealthy life. But if you fall in love to the end, those golds will go to neutral forces. Zipple will make you regret not taking this money while interfering with the trade of the Holy Kingdom.”
Right now, the people’s sentiment towards Zipple is literally hitting the bottom.
How long can that be?
Most ordinary humans do not have as strong a conviction as the Rani or Vitura loyalists.
A universal life consists of continuous days pursuing survival and trivial happiness through labor and its results.
If the country is poor, the individual will be poor too.
The more you work, the less your salary and the more intense the labor intensity, but if the quality of life doesn’t show any signs of improving…
Will the subjects still be able to defend the choices of Rani’s loyalists?
It couldn’t have been.
In the end, the responsibility for the hardened lives of the subjects would be borne by the leaders of the Seongguk, not Ziffle, who had inflicted severe economic retaliation.
It was clear that he would constantly shake it politically so that such a moment would come quickly.
Rani and her loyalists will be hard to find, and will eventually become tyrants or be remembered as incompetent leaders.
“I thought of a pornography book because I didn’t want to have those annoying thoughts.”
“You’ll be fine.”
Of course, there is Runcandel. There was no way Runkandel would just suck his finger while the kingdom was at that point.
But will it stabilize the kingdom by sprinkling as much money as Zipple?
Justification was also lacking. Even in Hufestor, there are not only one or two poor lands, but it is impossible to take care of the Holy Land before them. It was a problem that could lead to internal division.
In the end, it was Runkandel who got more tired when it came to fighting over money.
“Let’s go stop this bullshit.”

December 24, 1797.
Rani decided to start a requiem for the King of Saints and the living golem victims.
Even the trial was not over yet, but the requiem could not be delayed any longer. The body of the fake king, maintained by the saints with divine power, eventually began to decompose, and the body of Vitura, which was initiated, completely rotted away.
We also had to finish the requiem before the neutral media left.
The fact that the trial for the assassination of the King is not over is rather a minimum safety device for Jin.
The requiem was scheduled to last three hours.
Naturally, Rani decided to recite a prayer for them herself.
“Everyone please have a seat.”
Rani said as she climbed onto the podium. It was a low voice, but everyone in the square knelt on the floor and closed their eyes.
“Ayula, your most faithful daughter, Rani Salome, stands here in honor of King Miklan and his subjects who died unjustly. Please answer my prayers, and in your voice we can remember their last moments…”
Seongguk’s requiem was often called the ‘Milky Way Prayer’ by patrons.
It was because the divine power of those who gathered for the repose of spirits was united as one and emitted light.
At this time, the prayer resonated, and even those with low divine power could radiate a unique yellow color.
The brightness of the yellow light that illuminates the bodies of those gathered was determined by the divine power of the person praying as the representative.
That’s why Jin and Murakan couldn’t help but admire.
‘Lani Salome protected Muracan from that poisonous land, so I knew beforehand that her divine power was enormous…’ The
entire plaza was shining bright yellow.
Reciting a prayer, Rani trembled and breathed divine power into the bodies of thousands of her subjects.
It seemed as if the Milky Way was flowing on the ground, just as the hosagers said.
Reporters thought this was the last scoop they could pull from the Holy Land. In recent years, such a great remembrance ceremony has never been held in the Holy Land.
“…so today, Ayula’s children hope that they can safely return to your bosom, that this light will reach you and that their eternal life will be filled with blessings.”
As soon as the prayer was over, Lani stumbled precariously and grabbed the platform.
Truly the perfect requiem.
However, people did not know that Rani’s requiem exceeded perfection and caused a miracle.
The fact that Bitura’s body, which had already been rotted and buried in the ground, was restored to its integrity.
This was a secret that only Ayula and the spirits of the dead Bitura would know, even Rani did not know.
Whoa Whoa…
After taking a deep breath, Lani looked at the crowd.
“The requiem is over. And today, I, Rani Salome, would like to introduce to you, a foreigner who has sacrificed for the sake of the kingdom.”
The subjects looked up at Lani as if wondering.
It was because after the requiem, it was normal to thank those who gathered and get off the podium.
The reporters smelled it at that moment.
The smell that Barmal will appear.
“My friend, please come forward.”
While the subjects looked around, Jin slowly stepped forward.
He took off his hood, revealing golden-dyed hair. And Jin said this without hesitation.
“I am Gene Runkandel.”
