Chapter 500,
Chapter 138. Midnight Tower Keeper (6)
The falling Sandra was smiling with her arms wide open.
For those who did not know her circumstances and her eccentricities, she looked like she was welcoming her long-awaited lover with a desperate heart.
‘That’s Sandra Ziple…!?’
‘I just told the youngest… Our Jin!?’
‘Is there some kind of relationship between the Horseman of the Twelve and Sandra Ziple?’
Joshua and Deepus Jane couldn’t help but widen their eyes as they looked up at Sandra.
It was absurd that he appeared out of nowhere and referred to Jin as ‘sweetheart’, and it was shocking that Hedo, who was like a monster, quickly expressed embarrassment at her words.
good!
Sandra landed ten paces away from Jin with agile and light movements uncharacteristic of a wizard.
“Kyahaha, I thought you would give me a nice hug. Are you going to dodge it like that?”
“There are bound to be people it is best to avoid.”
“How do you like my clothes today? I ordered it after receiving a special recommendation from the top of the gold top. Is that okay?”
Jin’s gaze was not on the black coat and shirt similar to her runkandel conquest, but on the golden prosthetic arm. He could also recognize that the picture engraved inside was his own face.
-It’s my right arm… I think it’s just right.
– What do you mean?
-It’s still too early to take all of me. The right arm is neither too much nor too little. We’re on our first day of dating.
Recalling the conversation we had in the Gaipa Islands gave me goosebumps once more.
Everyone who was fighting in the middle of the fight was speechless, and for a while, only the noise of rubble and broken stone falling to the ground and the sound of the alarm stood out.
Jin just nodded.
It wasn’t difficult. It actually suited my taste, and above all, I thought it would help me a little more to get out of this terrible crisis.
“thank god! If he had tricked me, he would have tried to annihilate those cute rats. I ordered that stupid muscle pig… damn that muscle mass… Damn it! Hedo! How are you going to do this, and how are you going to take responsibility!”
Why aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The alarm was getting louder and louder. Draka’s dragons had already started flying in the sky outside, and the ship Kojek was also preparing to launch.
“He said he’d make sure to have dinner with Jin!”
“…There was a little setback, lady.”
“A setback? A setback! I really want to die at this important moment! How long have I been waiting?”
The Runcandels couldn’t understand at all. It was so surreal that the monster was so troubled by only Sandra.
And at that point, Jin realized the reason why Hedo didn’t ‘actively’ spread the water.
‘It was because of Sandra’s orders.’
My feelings became complicated.
The fact that he might have survived Hedo thanks to Sandra, of course, came as far more humiliation than relief.
It was inevitable that the enemy’s eccentricity, which did not sound like a prank, was benefiting in some way.
If it wasn’t for Jonah, if it wasn’t for Sandra.
This mission has already failed. Perhaps it would have been possible to escape, but it was clear that Runkandel would only suffer a major blow without much gain.
‘It’s not just Zipple and Hedo that were complacent. Me and Runkandel thought it was too easy.’
But not when he was regretting or blaming himself.
The problem can be supplemented later, and the day will come when today’s humiliation will be repaid with greater humiliation.
‘The fortunate thing is that the enemies didn’t calculate all of these variables.’
Then, even now, he had to read the most completely unexpected variables first.
‘I don’t know why, but Hedo is the most important person to follow Sandra Ziple’s orders. It’s just that Sandra and I can’t really have dinner together tonight. He was just trying to save me if possible. To avoid incurring Sandra’s hatred.’
-If you have anything from here, leave it there. If you do, I’ll let you live for once.
When I guessed the background of Hedo’s words, the part ‘Let me save you for now’ bothered me.
‘After retrieving the blueprint, Hedo intended to kill everyone except me or me and Murakan.’
Not only Joshua and Diphus Jane, but also the Wraiths who kept playing the poor shrimp out of place. Jin was so sure.
‘The reason why I’m trying to deal with the observatory is to destroy the evidence that Sandra’s orders took precedence over the family. Because I don’t want to be bothered. And the fact that I called the main unit even though I could die… If it is later known that we escaped safely after stealing the ship’s blueprint. Because Sandra could also be harmed.’
My head felt like it would explode as I thought of the assumptions one after another.
‘Not just me and Murakan, everyone in Runkandel must survive. At least until I get out of the 2 Magic Tower!’
It was because Draka’s main force would come to support, so even after getting out of the 2nd Mage Tower, there would inevitably be a tough battle.
In order to break through that and increase the possibility of escaping the Magic Federation at least a little, Jonah, Diphus Jane, and even Joshua had to survive first.
‘What should I do? I need a means to negotiate with the Tower Keeper.’
The moment I thought about it.
Between the fleets filling the open sky behind Hedo, Jin
was able to find something familiar.
And the word that came to my mind the moment I saw it was this.
heavenly luck.
‘Heaven helps me. No, maybe it was already foreseen since they came.’
Jin immediately came to a conclusion about how to use the newly revealed variables in the sky.
Also, it seemed that he should not miss out on using this opportunity to get to know Hedo as much as possible.
Jean thrust a knife into Sandra Ziple’s throat. Even when the knife touched her throat, she seemed happy to be close to Jin.
“Open the way, tower keeper.”
At Jin’s words, Hedo shrugged.
“You want to take the lady hostage? You wouldn’t know that it doesn’t mean much. Didn’t you experience it in the Gaipa Islands?”
“Of course, I am well aware that Sandra Zipple is half immortal. But hasn’t that fact itself been properly revealed to the outside world yet? Besides, it won’t do you or Sandra much good for Sandra to know that she tried to help me escape.”
“I’ve said it several times already, but give me back the blueprints. If you do, I will save you.”
“I also keep giving the same answer. I haven’t stolen anything And when I said to open the way, I mean, from now on, do no harm to everyone here at Runkandel. Not just me and Murakan.”
Hedo’s eyes hardened.
“Don’t you feel that you are making excessive demands in the middle of the enemy territory?”
“Even if you stand in my way, I am confident that I will take Sandra and leave this place. Then, can you really crack down on this strange woman? There must be limits to media control.”
“You’re crossing the line more and more.”
“Sandra will not die no matter how fierce the battle we fight during the escape process, so being semi-immortal is rather an advantage for us in the current situation.”
“I say this confidently, but I’m sure you don’t know that it’s impossible to take the lady and get out of the Magic Federation through Lute. Leave only you and Murakan.”
Jin shook his head firmly.
“I will tell you one last time. Open the way, tower keeper.”
As if frustrated, Hedo took out a cigarette and asked.
‘The reason why the 12th horseman is obsessed with the lady is because he needs insurance in many ways. But even if I let go, you know that it’s impossible to evade the main unit’s pursuit, so why are you stubborn? I thought he wasn’t such a foolish person.’
Whether or not he moves out of the way, as long as heaven doesn’t follow, all Runkandel here will have no choice but to die…
Hedo thought that way from the moment he called the main unit.
The reason he wanted to kill everyone except for Jin and Murakan was because he needed a justification.
He should have something to say when he is questioned by Kelliac in the future. Although he was careless and missed Jin and Murakan, he killed all the others.
“Um darling.”
Sandra, who was staring at Jin’s side face excitedly, opened her mouth.
“I know roughly what you are thinking. Do you hate that fucking muscle mass? Even today, I really want to tear it to death. How dare you put yourself in danger… But shouldn’t Hedo’s position be given some thought?”
Unexpectedly, he was accurately reading all the hidden flows between Jin and Hedo’s conversation. The fact that Jin needs insurance and Hedo needs a cause.
However, she had been unaware of the change in the sky as she had only been admiring Jin’s profile until now.
“If everyone gets out safely, it will be difficult for Hedo and I to be safe as well. I’m sure you’ll be interrogated. You don’t want that either, do you? Our married life hasn’t started properly yet, but if I end up in a torture chamber in the family basement, Jin will be sad too, right?”
“An underground torture chamber? There’s no way the young lady would end up in a place like that.”
“Shut up Hedo! I’m fixing it!”
Sandra, who shouted ferociously, turned her gaze back to Jin with a grin.
“So just me and the black dragon and the three of us leave in order. That way, you’ll almost certainly survive. ‘Cause I’ll be the bait So no one gets hurt? We’re also going on a date called an escape play!”
It seemed that she didn’t classify Runkandel as human except Jin.
Instead of answering those words, Jin met Hedo’s eyes.
“The Tower Keeper still doesn’t know why I’m so stubborn.”
Jin pointed his finger at the sky behind Hedo.
“Looking at that, you’ll think it’s not a bad idea to accept my offer.”
Hedo looking back.
There were more than 100 of Zipline’s flying mass-produced ships floating in the sky, but strangely, only one of them was shining a light.
It wasn’t Zipple’s ship.
Ship Grenil.
Kingelo’s flagship that attacked Geomwangseong.
Grenil’s guns were aiming at the stationary mass production ships.
“Wouldn’t it be better to let us go and go stop that or something? I don’t think there could be a better cause for you and your lady than that.”
Jin smiled and Hedo cracked a cigarette and wrinkled his expression.
