Episode 57. Farewell for a moment (1) Squeeze,
write, write! Push shot…!
As always, this male guardian knight, Khan, who is slicing the monsters of the Black Sea with a sealed letter in his heart.
But this time, Casimir’s letter was not the only thing he conveyed to Shiron.
“The youngest boy said that he had been with Lady Yona for two days, head of the household.”
Khan, who finally finished the three-day massacre, handed out a letter to Shiron and said.
Shiron did not answer and opened the letter first. This is the first letter since Casimir was summoned to the Black Sea. (The first chapter contains the actions and results of Confucius Qin. From the second chapter, the description
of the situation based on Confucius’ statements is described in detail, so you can omit it. Please do not feel tired while reading…)
The letter was pretty neatly organized as described. It was neither too verbose nor overly concise, like the previous letters.
‘That friend of Casimir is finally sending a decent message.’
Seeing the cause and effect, Shiron’s eyes deepen.
‘8-star wizard Rolt Joe and the white wolf warrior. It’s been a while since I heard the name Hapaleb.’
As a young man, he too had fought against the White Rang tribe’s Hapaleb clan. After passing the twenties and looking at the level of 10 stars, the chief of Hapalev came up to fight.
The chieftain was a ‘memorable’ strong man. The one-on-one duel continued for over five hours, and the result naturally ended with Shiron’s victory.
Of course, now that he has surpassed 10 stars and became the only spearman knight, he would not be an opponent even if the chieftain of that time came again.
The warriors of Hapaleb that Shiron saw that day were all equipped with skills that exceeded the average of the White Wolves.
‘The White Wolves called Goltep, defeated by the youngest, must be his grandson’s generation. If the Hapaleb clan was still full of strong warriors, it would have been a pretty meaningful victory.’
Turning to the next chapter, the detailed description began. Shiron immersed himself in reading the letter for a while, as if reading a long-awaited novel.
(It is said that he chanted ‘cut’ when he split Goltep’s hammer in half. That seems to be his own attitude. Trust is sometimes important when facing something that is difficult to cut with a sword.
) It was this one that I was particularly interested in.
‘It’s not a simple attitude. That was the old Runcandel magic swordsman’s way. It closely matches what is described in the records.’
Shiron knew all the secrets of Runcandel that he could know as the family head.
It was part of the history book describing Runcandel in the ‘Era of Magical Swordsman’ that Ziple couldn’t erase, or the way those who received the solderette’s blessing use their swords.
Things about him could only be confirmed by the family head. They were materials sealed in a special space that neither the elders nor the riders had access to.
Spells, swords and spirits.
The first time I saw the records of the magic swordsman’s fight as a family head, especially when I saw the battle record of Temar Runcandel, which had only a few lines left.
I remember being plagued by curiosity for a while.
Is the realm he reached as a magic swordsman greater than me?
One topic that he had forgotten without an answer caused a ripple in his mind.
‘In the records it was written that it was a ‘spiritual sword’.’
I wanted to call the youngest and order him to unfold it, but I had to hold back. It’s still unfinished anyway, since it’s a technology that’s been out of date for a thousand years.
After the appreciation, Shiron closed the letter.
“Cannes.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“What did the youngest and Jonah say they did for two days?”
“It is said that it was just a leisure time. The youngest lady’s senses are so sensitive that it was impossible to watch her 24 hours a day, but she seemed to be literally just playing.”
“Alone?”
“That’s right.”
“What did the youngest ask Jonah for, or did he receive help from?”
“There is nothing confirmed by the Guardian Knights in the Kon Empire. After receiving Mandokju, the head of the family warned directly through Gilly, so even the youngest boy would not have dared to think of violating it.”
Shiron blinked her eyes once.
“Anyway, he’s a strange guy. I am fearless in many ways.”
“Are you talking about the youngest boy?”
“okay. Although I never imagined that Jonah would be able to mingle with other people normally. How many times did Oul, whom Yona gave her heart to, suffer from death threats? Even Luna stays away from that child.”
Khan lowered his head, and Chiron let out a smirk.
“From now on, tell the Guardian Knights of the Kon Empire to keep an eye on Yona more leisurely. If you even interfere with playing with your little brother, you know he’s my knight and you can kill him enough.”
“All right.”
* * * As
soon as Tikan’s colleagues heard the news Jin had brought, they had no choice but to hold a meeting.
The information brought was too shocking.
“It’s embarrassing that Zipple and Kingelo were allies until recently, but circumstantially, the reason the alliance ended was because the demon stone was damaged, and the damage was because of Gongja Jin, right?”
The Demon Stone that Ziple had was broken when Jin had a decisive battle with Andrei Ziple on an uninhabited island in the Beamont Sea.
Strictly speaking, Luna was destroyed, but Luna participated in the battle because Jin visited the place.
Thanks to that, Jin changed the fate of Enya and Yuria that day, and Jiple lost the bugoju and the wind dragon.
‘I can’t believe Boubard made it. I’m surprised to think about it again.’
In my previous life, I thought I was just a crazy shapeshifter who enjoyed wreaking havoc on the world. However, according to newly acquired information, Bouvard was the core of Kingelo’s core.
“In addition, he uses his special ability called ‘sculpture’ to create artifacts such as demon stones or transform others… using the remains of dead gods and the remains of old civilizations.”
Murakan, who said that, had a serious face unlike usual.
“huh. By the remains of the dead gods that it uses as material, do you mean the blood of Numerus’ tears?”
“Yeah, but kid. I told you that I met a graveyard giant there when I went to the unreserved territory near the Principality of Kurano to help the cadets of your faction.”
graveyard giant.
Those golems guarding the tombs of the dead gods disappeared 2000 years ago. It was none other than the Balaur who ended them, and Murakan and Quikantel had participated in the elimination of the graveyard giants at the time.
“I never understood why there was a graveyard giant there, but now I understand. It was the work of that bastard named Boubard Gaston. And he seems to have signed a contract with Well, the God of Sculpture.”
“Well, God of Sculpture? Is this your first name?”
Except for Murakan and Quikantel, everyone did. Even among the people of the world, only a few knew Well’s name.
“Of course you don’t know. Like the Klamm we met in Colón, he is one of the gods that have disappeared from history. Well was in the tombs of dead gods.”
Well was also the one who contributed the most when the gods produced the ‘source stone’.
And Well loses his status as a god after a long time passes again after the source stone is destroyed and becomes an ordinary human being.
The place where the degraded gods gathered in this way is the ‘Tomb of the Dead Gods’, and the grave giant was a golem created by Well to protect himself and their posthumous dignity.
As Murakan explained these mysteries, Quikantel nodded quietly. For most Balaur, getting rid of the graveyard giant was a bad memory.
In any case, it was an act of breaking the graves of beings who were once enshrined as gods.
“Then a dead god. No, a human named Well was revived, regained his godhood, and signed a contract with Bouvard. Is that possible?”
“Absolutely impossible. It’s just that if Bouvard isn’t Well’s contractor, it’s impossible to explain, so I hypothesized. Seeing them transform, I also think that it could be the well itself, not the contractor.”
“How come you seem to be getting involved with divine beings ever since you became a reserve rider.”
“According to Mr. Murakan, Boubar Gaston is a very mysterious person. Why would such a person be with Kingelo?”
“That must have something to do with Kingelo’s cause, strawberry pie. First of all, the first thing to do is to find out what the big business they are talking about is. It’s obvious to see that he handed over the demon stone to Ziffle. You must want to be the only god in the world.”
Thanks to his past life memories, Jin knew what kind of ‘revolution’ Kingelo was pursuing.
It is to make their own king the only king in the world. This passage is in line with Jiple’s attempt to become the only god by using the demon stone.
“More than anything else, the thing called the compass is on my mind. If you look at the context of the conversation between Bishkel and Bouvard, it’s that compass. It’s like a thing that finds God’s contractor.”
“I think so too, kid. It is certain to find the contractor with the compass and absorb them with the demon stone.”
-In the case of Enya, the contract with Bement has already been revealed, but Az Mill’s contract is still unknown to the world.
– Then how did you approach Latri in the first place? Seeing that he hasn’t sent it back so far, he must have known about the existence of the Az Mill Contractor. Even the fact that the contractor is young.
-That’s it too. Hmm… Do you happen to have some kind of magic to detect contractors while I’ve been sleeping for a thousand years?
-There’s no way such magic could have happened. a thousand years ago or now. No one can find out about the fact of the contract until the contractor directly manifests his authority.
The conversation Jin and Murakan had when they first visited Quikantel.
At the same time, the three people who recalled that time nodded.
“Fortunately, it seems that the function of the compass is not perfect. Because I couldn’t find YuRia properly and kidnapped Latri instead.”
“The first day of June next year.”
Everyone’s eyes focused on Jin as he spoke.
“It’s the date Ziffle agreed to return the compass to Kingelo. The location is the land of the pirates on the southern island of the Bellado Empire.”
“A little over half a year left.”
“Until then, it would be best to dig up as much information about Kingelo and Zipple as possible before stealing it. If possible, try to find a way to secure a compass before that.”
Why should it be?
No one asked or questioned anything like that. Right now, there were only three contractors in this place, their nest and hideout.
If the compass points towards Tican, hunters will come from Ziffle or Kingelo.
Looking back at the decisive battle with Andrei, he said to Jin, ‘You will become the best material for the Devil Stone’, and to himself who fused with the Devil Stone, ‘The Twelve Gods are locked’.
“Fortunately, it seems they haven’t smelled it yet, but you never know when you’ll be targeted. Zipline Kingelo. Both of you are doing dog shit and I can’t just sit back and watch it.”
