Chapter 751,
Chapter 185. Remnants (1)
On the first day of July, 1803, ten days had passed since the decisive battle between the Provisional Alliance and the Mischievous God was over.
The world was returning to what it used to be.
The blue sky and land unstained by marriage, the shining beaches, the fishing boats swimming in the sea, the shopping districts full of people, a daily life where you no longer have to tremble in fear of being a disgrace…
Thankfully.
It wasn’t just the Lutero Magical Federation and the Bemont Empire that regained that natural landscape.
The Hufesters Union, which had been tainted by the entire continent, was also recovering to some extent the same as before.
Not all humans in Hufester were used as sacrifices to the god of depravity.
When the haze that covered the entire continent lifted, there were far more people left in Hufestor than the temporary alliance had expected.
“This is the first time I realize that checking reports and numbers can be so enjoyable and fortunate. Are the numbers and letters written on this paper really the current status of survivors in each region?”
Mary said.
He had a very haggard face because he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep since the war, but his eyes were shining brightly.
“Did you just buy it, sister! We and Tikan continue to send people directly to check. Everything is real.”
“So go in and get some rest and get some sleep. We’ll be watching the jockey work. Don’t ask the same question over and over again.”
Brother Tona replied.
Both of them, like Mary, had thin faces and bright eyes.
“I’ve checked once or twice, and I’m really tempted to eat these. Are you crazy?”
“Heng! Are you going to hit me? Hit me!”
“That’s a billion!”
puck puck!
Mary left a fist mark on both of their foreheads.
“under! As jockeys, we also have face.”
“I ate enough for my age. Ugh forehead.”
“No one has seen it. I look at it like this because it makes me feel good. What about the youngest? Aren’t you awake yet?”
“How many times have you asked about that… Ah, lower your fist.”
“sister. You heard it directly from King Seong about an hour ago. The youngest is recovering well.”
“I’m still worried because I’m not coming back to consciousness.”
“That too. what did he say? He said he wasn’t medically unconscious, he was just in a long sleep. I also emphasized that you don’t have to worry about anything because you will wake up unconditionally.”
“I understand how you want to reduce the work you have to do when the youngest wakes up, but this will hurt your body even more.”
“Get me a teapot over there.”
“Ugh.”
The siblings didn’t know.
The fact that from the moment they started talking, Jin had been waking up in another building.
There was no one in the room where Jin was lying to see Rani off.
Jin stared blankly at the ceiling for a while.
‘This is it.’
It was not a familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling teacan.
‘…Garden of Swords?’
The room he used when he was a reserve jockey.
It was there.
Although Jin could move his body, he continued to look up at the ceiling as if he were tied up.
It was because I was afraid that it might be a dream.
After Jin returned to Inse, the Garden of Swords was destroyed several times.
Jin confirmed with his own two eyes that the Garden of Swords was destroyed during the 1st general offensive, and the place where the huge Castle of the Evil God was built was also the site of the Garden of Swords.
That’s why I thought that the Garden of Swords could not remain intact like this.
Jin calmed his trembling heart and looked back on his last memory.
It reminded me of the moment when I fell to the ground after forming a bond with the body.
‘I think I saw the Garden of Swords intact back then.’
I got up and pinched the ball.
It hurt. I tried pinching harder, and I even took a sip of water from the glass placed next to me.
The sensation of cold water flowing down my throat was clearer than ever.
“young master!”
I heard Gilly’s voice.
“Gongja Jin!”
“12 riders!”
“Lord!”
“Be better!”
“jin!”
“babe!”
The voices of other colleagues were also heard.
They had just returned from seeing off the King Seong.
Gilly hugged Jin and wiped away tears.
The other co-workers also had moist eyes, but Jet, in particular, was sitting down and crying, saying that my nari was awake.
Hearing Jet’s cries outside makes it seem as if Jin is dead instead of waking up.
“Bocchan, are you okay!”
“self! Are you not sick anywhere? Why have you been lying down for so long? Do you know how heartbreaking this Sandra is?”
“Confucius Confucius woke up after ten days. And you see… Confucius did it. Save the world and Runcandel. It means that you have recovered the Garden of Swords.”
The moment his colleagues said this and that, Jin’s playfulness soared without knowing why.
“…Who are you?”
“…young master?”
“Where is this again…?”
“what?”
“lily!?”
“Go Gongja?”
“self? No, this is not it!”
My colleagues widened their eyes as they felt their hearts sink.
Jin was going to say one more word about who I am, but Valeria came in and got caught.
“There is a corner that is surprisingly empty. Aren’t these pranks too much for people who have been anxiously waiting for you to wake up?”
The tone seemed to be scolding, but Valeria was smiling broadly.
Except for the tenth day when she slept, she kept the record window on Jin open and looked at his movements.
Now, in the record window, it was written that Jin had woken up and was playing a joke.
“Was it too mean? I’m sorry everyone.”
“You were very mean, young man. I felt my heart drop.”
“My fist almost came out.”
“Your hair is really fine!?”
“Yeah, I’m fine. It sounds like your body needs some more recovery. Gilly, are all our comrades all right?”
“Yes, Bocchan. No one died in the Barmal Union.”
Just looking at the atmosphere, it seemed that way. The least damaged in this war was the Bamal Alliance.
No, beyond that, the Barmal Union had to be seen as much stronger than before the war.
Gilly and his colleagues explained the current situation to Jin for a while.
Most of Hufester’s allied families and civilians were unharmed, and about 3,000 knights, 100 scholars, and countless servants survived in Runkandel.
It’s never something to be happy about.
The entire population of the city of Calon was used as a sacrifice, and the number of knights who died due to corruption was uncountable, and the number of dead people easily exceeded one million worldwide.
Even if the body is dead, those who disappeared do not return.
However, it was also true that I was overwhelmed by the fact that things that I thought were all gone remained and gave me hope.
Those who lived left a foundation to prepare for tomorrow.
It was the reason my colleagues were excited all the time.
I had to be excited, but only then was I able to push away the sorrow of war and move forward.
“The fact that this amount of people survived in Runkandel is the result of the evil spirit obsessing over the family until the end. Even if the evil god really destroyed the world, he tried to leave at least the Garden of Swords and Runcandel.”
Valeria opened the log window to confirm the information about him.
These were the records of the contradictory mind that even the chest god himself did not know about.
Before the decisive battle, the thing that the evil spirits concentrated most on was not building that huge and terrible castle, but rebuilding the ‘Garden of Swords’.
The evil god put a barrier around the entire restored sword garden and built a castle over it.
And all the members of the living family were imprisoned in it. without ever falling into marriage.
“I became a deity and corrupted most of the knights in my family with that authority… but did I preserve some of them without damaging them?”
“okay. It is not the garden of swords that it defiled, but the garden of swords that the human Rosa Runkandel remembers.”
Those words reminded Jin of the last battle.
The lonely white scenery that was located in the deepest part of the body.
“…Perhaps it was the last bastion left in case he was defeated. After you die, you will have to lead the rest.”
It was noisy outside.
It was because Jet had gone out and informed that Jin had woken up.
The heavy footsteps of the knights of the family lined up were causing vibrations.
It was preparation to meet Jin. Gilly opens the closet and Jean pulls out a coat she’s never worn before.
“young master. It would be better to report more details later and go out first.”
Jin stared blankly at the coat, similar to the jockey’s uniform, but with different embroidery.
‘Ten black swords embroidered on the collar…’
In Shiron’s Runcandel, only Luna before nineteen had that coat.
It was because the coat symbolized the ‘Sogaju’ of the sword family.
Even when Joshua played the role of Sogaju externally, Chiron did not allow him to wear this coat.
“…Could it be that your father has returned?”
“The head of the family hasn’t returned yet.”
“Then who can grant me that coat? I can’t wear it myself just because I’ve built a ball. I am still the twelfth horseman of the family, Gilly.”
Instead of answering, Gilly lowered his head quietly. As if to wear it.
In the end, Jin stayed still for a few seconds, got up, washed his face, and put on his coat.
When he left the room, the knights waiting in the hallway followed Jin with a sword bow.
Jin wanted to check each one of them, but it seemed like he had to go out to the garden first.
In the garden, all the survivors of Runcandel were lined up.
Brothers Mary and Tona were at the forefront raising the family flag.
Hearing it and actually seeing it are different.
Seeing the knights lined up, Jin felt his heart thump.
As Jin approached, the knights retreated to the sides and raised their swords.
At the end of the line, there were people Jin never expected.
[The 12 Horsemen are here.]
[Finally awake.]
Alpen and Tasha spoke to Jin first.
And the one-armed head of the family standing in the middle had a face very similar to Shiron.
[Welcome back, great-grandson.]
The one-armed former head of the family rescued in the final battle said with a grin.
He was the 57th head of Runkandel and Shiron’s grandfather.
