Chapter 385,
Chapter 117. Who is the real Runcandel? (5)
“I understand, young man.”
Hot and cold!
After a while, what Petro ran to bring was a sandwich with plenty of meat, making his feet sweaty. Petro wondered if it was right to find a sandwich in this situation, but Jin had a relaxed face.
“Oh, that’s fine. Good job.”
“young master.”
“Why?”
“Are you really okay?”
“When Gilly and Murakan return, we’ll all have a delicious meal and wait for you.”
“…I wish you luck, boy!”
To make sure that Petro’s spleen voice was not colorless, Jin moved on while chewing on a sandwich with a calm face.
Wa-gu, wa-gu, yum…
The sword garden was so quiet that the sound of Jin chewing his sandwich stood out.
And there were sharp eyes looking at it.
‘How many Guardian Knights are on standby in the family?’
Rosa and the Council of Elders had knights on standby, and Joshua had summoned all the troops he could call, so knights stood like pillars at every corner of the garden.
Their gaze toward Jin cannot be favorable. Although he was hiding it as much as possible, most of the knights harbored hostility toward Jin.
The chaos Jin caused in the family was not welcome even to the knights. Jean eagerly swallowed the sandwich, not paying attention to their stares.
‘If others see it, they’ll think Runkandel is preparing for war.’
Actually it was.
Knights were not limited to the Garden of Swords. The roads of the city of Calondo were blocked, and Guardian Knights were placed between them.
Intelligence was spreading all over the world. He said that it was unusual for knights to gather in Calon, so he needed to be extra careful.
Zipline, Bement, Kingelo, and other forces. He was keenly aware of whether Runcandel was really preparing for war.
It was as if the world was tense because of just one person, 12th rider Gene Runkandel.
We ate sandwiches throughout our leisurely walk.
Eventually, when they reached the main gate of the arena, Jin created a light flame in his palm and burned the wrapping paper.
The gatekeepers almost flinched at that sight.
It’s not even a secret that the 12th Horseman is a magic swordsman anymore, but it was embarrassing enough to see Runcandel using magic in the Garden of Swords so carelessly.
“Open the door.”
Jin said while wiping his lips.
The gatekeepers were also guardians. It meant that he had been training to the extreme for an ordinary human being, and that he could read the energy in Jin’s voice.
So I couldn’t help but be shocked.
I wasn’t surprised to see him using magic, but the dignity in Jin’s voice clearly had a strange and deep power.
“…The 12th Horsemen have arrived!”
Key profit…!
When the huge iron door opened, the first thing I saw was Rosa sitting in the seat of honor in the arena.
The riders and elders standing below her turned their heads to Jin, and the guardian knights standing behind her changed their eyes. With eyes that can spur jinx whenever an order is given.
It’s late mother. Sorry to keep you waiting.
Even with this kind of greeting.
Aren’t there too many people gathered to scare me? I didn’t expect Runkandel to be so nervous because of that one person.
He didn’t even utter such a sarcastic sound.
Jin just stood tall for a while and met their gazes head-on.
Like a beast that came alone to the den of its enemies.
And just like waiting for your nemesis to bark first.
“12 riders!”
When someone nervously called her, Jin smiled inwardly.
‘Yeah, I thought it would be the older sisters if they barked first.’
it was mu
She did not hide her murderous intent at all, and her eyes were full of anticipation and desire to see Jin’s corpse today.
Live to the point where your face is pulled up.
However, Jin knew that the killing was not Mu and Anne’s. As all the warriors of 9 stars or higher in this arena feel.
“You mean this is a place where you can stand like a stone like this?”
“How your head right now and be polite to the acting governor and to the high-ranking riders and elders!”
Mew and Ann’s strong and clear voices crossed the arena.
Jin for a long time.
I did not respond to the voices of my sisters. I acted like someone who hadn’t heard a voice so loud.
That alone was a humiliation that Mu and Anne could not accept. Chimi’s face turned red with anger, and the veins on her neck were swollen as if they were about to burst at any moment.
“This cheeky bastard.”
Haa….
Jin sighs.
Mu and Ann, who were reaching for the sword at their waist, couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment. It’s shocking, the fact that Jin let out a sigh in frustration.
However, in the shock of Mu and Ann, there was awe hidden that they never wanted to admit.
Would I be able to do the same if it were me standing there?
Can you sigh when you see me draw my sword and try to attack you? Can we stop by just letting out a sigh?
And why?
Doesn’t anyone get enraged at seeing that cheeky look?
In a very brief moment, all sorts of questions passed through their minds.
lost.
Or can’t win. The moment you draw your sword, you will be disgraced in front of everyone. Mu and Ann’s intuition was warning them.
Even so, the two had to draw their swords. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be Runkandel.
“It’s nice to hear a sigh. When I was only doing you, I had a lot of things to breathe because of these things.”
It was fortunate for Mu and Ann.
Mary took a step forward and naturally bit them. It was to help the immature and weak younger siblings not to lose everything with a single mistake.
Mew and Ann felt their pulse beating madly through the hand holding the sword.
“Seven Horsemen…! Move!”
“If you’re going to be courteous to the 12 Horseman, look around you too. Even the acting head of household hasn’t said anything yet, but do you think it’s okay to run wild like this? I think I’m going to die. Be quiet when you say nice things.”
It was not humiliating for Mew and Anne to be defeated by Mary. at least externally. Everyone in Runkandel knows that there is a clear order among the three in the first place.
It was no different that Mary dared to give Mew and Anne a chance.
It was because of the judgment that if they were cut by the youngest now and their wings were completely broken, it would be a loss to the entire Runkandel dimension.
There was no way that Mary couldn’t see the future that Mu and Anne intuitively saw.
Even in Mary’s eyes, she could clearly see the excited Mew and Ann attacking Jin and getting hit with a single sword.
“I’m warning you, don’t even make annoying noises like excitement at me. It stays dented like an invoice until the situation is over.”
Mu and Ann barely managed to control their emotions and corrected their posture.
Silence came again.
Jin hadn’t said anything until then. Each of those who gathered in the arena in a suffocating silence felt various emotions.
Most of them couldn’t help but admire Jin to some extent. As Mu and Ann felt, I wondered if there was anyone else who could show this kind of attitude in this place.
Some of the elders even felt a sense of déjà vu.
‘…The first rider comes to mind.’
‘It was like this on the day the 1st jockey declared that he would give up his position as head coach.’
1st jockey Luna Runcandel.
She was also receiving the expectations of Shiron from all the families. When he declared that he would give up the race for the title, he was so confident and like a mountain.
It seemed that no one could stop it with anything.
However, there is a huge difference between Luna then and Jin now.
Jin came here to declare the exact opposite.
“The 12th Horseman.”
Finally, Rosa’s voice fell from the seat of honor.
“Yes, acting governor.”
Jin looking up at Rosa.
“Your fate here is a weak and light thing that can be decided in seconds with just a few words from me.”
“Is that so.”
“So you must tell the truth to what I ask.”
“All right.”
“Why did you tell the 7th rider about the tomb of the first patriarch?”
“It was because I had the belief that the 7th rider would publicize it on my behalf.”
“It was as you said. So what are you going to do now?”
“I would like to hear the opinions of the people gathered here, including the acting head of state.”
Jin looked around for a while and continued talking behind his back.
“What I felt while visiting the tombs of the first family owners since my days as a reserve rider. Runkandel can never beat Zipple.”
“dare!”
“What are you talking about!”
Among the elders, Jorden’s Black Sword Society responded first.
“I told you that what I want to hear is your opinion. It’s not a fleeting affair. Do you think the elders have a chance in the event of a war with Ziple in the future?”
“what…!”
“If you really think so, put your nose in the dish water right away and die.”
Sreung-! Sreung!
The shouted elders drew their swords.
“You’ve crossed the line for a long time, you bloody bastard.”
“Dreaming of a groundless future based on false hopes only suits a weak and rotten group. Runkandel doesn’t need such a human.”
“What do you know? Enough to gauge the success or failure of the war between Runcandel and Ziple! Do you think you have contributed to this family? Do you think you’ve fought against enemies that much?”
“Let me twist the question a bit. Even though the head of the house has been in Changseong for a long time, he is not fighting an all-out war with Jiple. Why?”
Jin glared at the elders.
“Because you decided you couldn’t win, needless to say. Even my father, who can sweep all those gathered here like dust! But dare the elders say that we have a chance against Ziffle?”
The elders glared at Jin without answering. There is nothing to say if Jin directly mentions Shiron and alludes to it.
“There won’t be. Because no one gathered here can have greater power than the family head.”
Moreover, when Jin added another word, the elders who drew their swords could not stand it any longer.
“But I have a way.”
