Chapter 978,
Chapter 242. Eltiott (1)
Two days have passed since the battle at Maysil.
In the meantime, the Bamal Alliance moved various devices left by the imperial family in the hideout of the uninhabited island of the Lutero Federation and the bodies of the Qingming people to Tican.
In the process, the red owl and Mort made more than 20 space jumps, but fortunately they were not exposed to the zip.
All facilities too large to be moved were destroyed. Since the Sunsin Church took possession of the Airan Bement, it was highly likely that they would use it usefully if left alone.
“Probably, it wouldn’t have been easy to collect the loot if Luke hadn’t been seriously injured.”
“That’s what I think, Miss Ameris. Still, it’s a pity that we couldn’t bring back the whole Qingming movement device. I thought it would help in many ways.”
It is said that it is inferior to the Red Myeongjok, but the Qingmyeongjok’s spatial leap is a technology far ahead of the present.
Jin had hoped that it might be a clue to bring out Lapla Rosa’s brothers.
“Still, some of the parts that are presumed to be the core have been brought, so if Quaul and Valeria analyze them well, it will be of some help.”
Jin nodded.
They say it’s regrettable, but in fact, in the battle of Mayseal, the Barmal Alliance took more benefits than any other faction.
Unlike the enemy clans and the Imperial Sun God, they did not receive any damage. Not only did the enemy lose 4 cities and Usu to Elona, but also lost a majority of their fleet in Maysil and 2 aerial fortresses were partially damaged.
The imperial family survived alone, Ayran, and was virtually destroyed and absorbed into the Sun God Church, and Luke was mortally wounded.
‘Luke… The next time I fight him, it won’t be as comfortable as this time.’
Luke, the former god of battle of the Ming Dynasty.
Jin thought about his inaction. It was not immediately clear whether he would be able to win if he fought him completely one-on-one without any conditions.
Whoever wins, he too will be driven to the brink of death. Jin thought of him as an enemy stronger than Paellito.
‘Either Luke or Sir Elona. Fighting one-on-one with spear-class beings should always be avoided. I need to find out more about him and the Sun God Church.’
As soon as he thought about that, Jet found Jin.
“Good! That Cheongmyeongjok nobleman has woken up.”
“oh. Contact Luna, she said she wanted to meet her in person.”
“Okay sir!”
For the past two days, Eltiot has not been able to regain consciousness. Jin and Ameris went straight to the medical room.
Eltiot was sitting on the bed, looking out the window with a blank face.
“Eltiot, an ancient Qingming people’s dedication. You’re finally awake.”
“You…”
Eltiott tilted his head as if he didn’t know Jin.
“You don’t remember me? When he rescued me, he called me brother.”
“And who am I?”
“under?”
“Where is this…?”
“Eltio what are you talking about? do you not remember anything? look at me amerys that you hated so much.”
“Ameris…? I don’t remember anything…”
Ameris sighed and approached Eltiot. Then, grabbing his face and feeling his pulse, he looked at his mother and grandmother.
“The Mac is surprisingly stable and the power felt from the wide heart is also mixed, but is there a problem with the memory?”
“Ooooh.”
“Oh… a great being who once made the whole world afraid has come to such a bitter fate.”
Ameris put on a sad expression, as if looking at an old comrade in ruins.
As can be seen in the part ‘you hate so much’, Ameris was actually an enemy to the Qingming people. Because both the Jeokmyeongjok and the Qingmyeongjok have sunk beneath the surface of history due to the great seal she opened.
“It’s a joke, big snake. I never thought you would see me with that face.”
Suddenly, Eltiot smiled.
“What?”
“Isn’t it funny that the person who was so heartless when he sealed us is now sad? If you’re so sorry, put your neck out now. I’ll use that head to hold a ceremony to pray for the souls of my brothers. Putting money in the nostrils in the way of small beasts.”
I was so dumbfounded that I was speechless for a moment. Soon, Ameris shrugged and glared at Eltiott.
“This body for a while forgot that you had a stupid corner. Do you mean jokes as soon as you wake up in this situation?”
“The immortal, whom we believed to be our friend, eventually sealed the entire underground world despite our pleas, and I, who fell asleep without power, became a plaything for the Melka tribe, and now I awake in a strange land on earth without a brother. How can you survive without making a joke? big snake.”
Eltiot stood up and looked at Ameris.
The infinitely deep and hard eyes were shining brightly. The unique dignity of a person who ruled a world for a long time poured out.
An immortal who believed to be a friend.
The Qingmyeongjok, unlike the Jeokmyeongjok, was in the position that the death of the sun god should be maintained as it is, so they and Ameris were not allies, but they aimed for the same goal.
“Hey yes. I’m glad you’ve come to your senses. At that time, sealing the underworld was the right choice. Do you want to ask about it now?”
“If it did, I would have killed it when it came close to me earlier, a big snake. Even though I’ve been weakened by long seals and scars, so are you. You, too, have become as miserable as I am. Even if you wash your eyes, you can’t find that power that even the great kings couldn’t easily overcome.”
Eltiott moved his gaze to Jin.
“Jean Runcandel. Maybe that was the name? In my haze I remember how your sister and your enemies called you that.”
“Right. It looks like all your memories are back?”
“Not everything. However, I am in a state where I roughly recall who I am and what has happened in the past. You are strange in many ways. He seems to be a distant descendant of us, but he looks like a perfect human and has a big heart… What on earth is it?”
“As a human, I became a member of the Myungwang clan. As you said, my brothers seem to be distant descendants of the Qingming people.”
“Are there any people left in this world who can be said to be the descendants of the enemy tribe? Using the red brain flag.”
“None.”
“Then, the winner of the Sun War before Daebongin was the Qingming Tribe. Perhaps one of the brothers survived to avoid the eyes of the big snake… and he left descendants to make the four brothers who are now.”
It might be difficult to understand the situation and deal with the shock, but Eltiott was already accepting his situation.
“However, unlike us, the enemy tribes seem to have resurrected properly, so it can be said that the second war has begun. Perhaps if you and your sister hadn’t arrived in time, I would have been their food.”
“Thanks to Ameris-sama, I was able to recognize and find the underground battle.”
“Still, I can’t bear to say thank you to the big snake. Now, you will have a lot of questions about me. How did this body become a slave to the insignificant Melka tribe, what I saw and heard from them, and how I came to my senses now.”
“I would be grateful if you could explain.”
“It’s a simple story. I was sealed in a city of our Qingming people called Nilot in the middle world. A Melka tribe named Ayran Bement found me and made constant suggestions. He said he saved our Qingming people.”
It was a seal that continued from the era that could be called ‘the beginning’ by human standards until now. Even Eltiot couldn’t maintain a healthy spirit all the time.
“Having become weak, I fell for that crude indoctrination. I also showed the brothers every time… Ah, the bodies of the brothers must be here now. Let me offer them a sacrifice later. You can’t use that body anyway.”
“Of course.”
“Anyway, it seems that the guy named Ai-Ran tried to complete the brainwashing by using a special device after destroying me.”
“I wonder if he was making something like a holy water crown…”
“I don’t know what a holy water crown is, but it was something that could absolutely control me and the demon called Temar Bement. It must have all gone now, but I heard it clearly with my ears the moment the enemy invaded. Our grand plan failed. He said that after today, we will have to hide for a long time again, just like before. That Melca guy.”
“Then, the enemy tribes invaded and the emperor abandoned hope and fled and got help from the Sun God Church.”
“Yes. He tried to use me just to buy time by driving me into a runaway. That means that my body will soon be passed on to the enemy, and that means they will become stronger that much. The imperial family failed in trying to control the enemy. Even though the enemies are trash, the insignificant Melka tribe has paid the price for daring to take advantage of the Myeongwang clan.”
“…Temar Viment. Do you remember anything else about the demon who used the body of my ancestors?”
“does not exist. However, the Sun God has secured the magic. Come to the battlefield with two air forts. The bodies of your ancestors must have been deeply related to the resurrection of the sun god. Otherwise, there would be no reason for the Sun God to take such a risk. They lived in the same era as us, so they know the power of the Myeongwang family.”
The relationship between Temar’s body and the resurrection of the sun god was a matter to be learned.
“Right. What do you think now, Eltiot? Will you take revenge?”
“To the enemy? Fighting with them is just a daily routine. I don’t need feelings like resentment. Let’s punish those crazy Melka people who used me, they’ve already been virtually destroyed and belonged to the Sun God.”
“Then it sounds like you want to fight alongside us.”
“I will pay the price for saving my life. Above all, since you are also our distant descendants, wouldn’t it be reasonable to help as an ancestor?”
Jin’s eyes widened.
While rescuing him, I had no expectations, but I never thought that Eltiott would become an ally so easily.
“But… no, we’d better talk about this later.”
Just as we had talked to that point, Luna entered the room.
“Oh Eltiot! It looks a lot better than I thought. Do you remember who I am? He is the person who rescued you from the basement and carried you on your back all day long.”
As soon as Luna arrived, Eltiot put on a dazed expression again.
“Who are you? I… I have a headache. Who am I?”
“ah? Could it be that you have lost your memory?”
Jin and Ameris shrugged their shoulders pretending not to know.
“Hmm then what should I do? Should Valeria help? No, amnesia is a bit unexpected, isn’t it?”
“You are very gullible. It tastes like teasing.”
“Aha… I mean, it’s a joke. Apparently, the maknae and Ameris-sama were beaten earlier. Anyway, nice to meet you. I spent a lot of time with the youngest to save you.”
Eltiot smiled and grabbed Luna’s outstretched hand.
“Nice to meet you. Luna Runkandel… And you have something I can teach you. Unlike your brother.”
