Episode 64. Rumors and Trackers (1)
Unexpectedly, Jin and Murakan were kicked out as soon as they returned home. I also used the transfer gateway to go to Manji Island in the West Sea.
“Did you suddenly kick someone out and make a fuss?”
When Murakan spoke in a snarky voice, Quikantel shook his head.
“There is no change in the compass. um enya You go out this time.”
“Me too?”
Enya was also kicked out. Similarly, to Manji Island in Secret Palace.
Then there was a change in the compass. As soon as Enya went to Manji Island, a red dot appeared on the compass map.
“Um… I guess I get it. This compass doesn’t seem to detect the solderlet’s contractor. By the way, if you are near Jinui, aren’t other contractors also not being tracked?”
The red dot appeared when Enya went to Manji Island, but disappeared when she returned to Tikan.
“I will take Enya and Yuria out.”
As Jin took the two of them out, a red dot appeared on the palm of the compass map. The two red dots belong to Yuria and Enya.
Jin once again tried to get out of Tikan alone. The compass produced no red dots on neither Tican nor Mange Island.
“…that’s strange. It’s certain that the compass can’t search Jin, but doesn’t that mean that Enya and Yuria aren’t exposed to the search because of it?”
Since then, Enya and Yuria have visited several other areas besides Manji Island. The result was the same each time, with or without gin. When only the two of them moved, red dots appeared everywhere.
“It seems that there is something in Tikan.”
Quikantel concluded.
“mirror…?”
That was the only thing Jin could think of.
Then, the same experiment was conducted with a mirror. Within an hour, colleagues were able to realize that the mirror had the power to hide the contractor from the compass.
“To sum it up, even if Jin doesn’t have a mirror, he won’t be exposed to searches, and Yuria and Enya won’t. As long as the mirror is in Tikan, this place is no different from a safe zone from searching for contractors.”
The compass could not search for a god or his contractor who had more than a certain amount of power.
Since the mirror possesses the sealing properties of Klamm, the god of magic, and Solderlet, it caused more obstacles to the function of the compass.
“Hmm, then, even if we stayed still, there would be little chance that the kid and the fanatic ice cookie would be exposed to the compass. Even if it was exposed when we left Tican, it wasn’t something we could find right away.”
“The reason why Andrei Ziple couldn’t pinpoint Yuria’s location in the past was probably because of the limitations of his functions.”
Still, it wasn’t in vain.
From now on, Jin and his party can know the approximate location of contractors around the world, and through them, they can infer whether Zipple has been kidnapped. If the red dots suddenly start flocking to the Lutero Magic Federation, kidnapping is certain.
And that’s not all.
‘If there is a new contractor among those we need, we can find him before or at the same time as Zipple.’
In addition, it was confirmed once again that Tikan is a safe zone, so the six months of hard work was not in vain.
“I think we should set up a dedicated team to check the compass every day. Sir Casimir, please.”
“I understand, Gongja. Now that I’ve confirmed that my daughter isn’t being searched for, I can finally relax.”
“Boss, I will tell you the rest of the report.”
“Yes, please.”
“First of all… you’d better take a look at this.”
said Gilly, spreading the newsletter on the table.
– The island of the pirates of the Bellado Empire. A mysterious powerful man wearing a magical black helmet appears… Is he a hero or a villain?
“Poop. pukyuk keukkyuk. Hero Villain I’m going crazy My little boy!”
As soon as Murakan read the first line, he pointed at Jin and laughed out loud, and Siris also swallowed a laugh.
The content of the article was roughly as follows.
(There is a possibility that the mysterious strongman with the name ‘Bamal’ uses ‘brain ki’ and is a new contractor of ‘Faytel’, the god of storms
. It seems that he does not belong to any large power. This is because the royal
family of Zipple and Bement have officially expressed their desire to contact him.
Runkandel has not yet expressed any position, and attention is being paid to what his next move will be.
According to eyewitnesses, he was a man with a gorgeous blonde hair and a beautiful face who looked prodigal. However, it is likely that it is a disguise. The possibility that he used cotton wool cannot be ruled out.
It is not clear why he visited the island. While the theory that the purpose was to eradicate pirates and the theory that he was aiming for the goods of the gambling house coexisted, the public said that a new supernova that shakes the continent is a good thing. I just hope…)
By this point, Jin couldn’t help but feel hot on his face. Hundreds of media outlets had already written articles like this.
‘I expected rumors about me to spread in earnest, but this is somehow embarrassing.’
While Murakan laughed, Jin thought about the information ‘hidden’ in the newsletter.
‘Nowhere is there a story about Kingelo and the compass. The fact that a big man like Chukon Tolder or Carl Ziple was there was the same, and there was no description of the Runcandel Guardian Knights or the Special Forces and the SS. The focus is all on me and the pirate scavenger hunt.’
In other words, it meant that the four giant forces of Bement, Runcandel and Zipline Kinzelo, had already finished controlling the media.
‘The fact that Zipple and Bement are officially expressing their desire to meet with me means that they can’t even guess who I am, and they don’t have the confidence to find out any time soon.’
If not, there is no reason to make such a statement. It was Zipple and Bement’s way of setting traps to catch Jin without the world’s knowledge, and forcibly capturing or killing them if they were caught.
‘And through these articles, those who have questions or grudges against me have gained many clues.’
In other words, the people who met Jin who uses the ‘magic black helmet’.
Kuzan, who fought in Delki Kingdom, and Ratz, the 3rd leader of the special rental team, met at the log house of Veris Quikantel.
They now had one sure clue to tracking Jin. From now on, if you use Multa’s rune anywhere and leave witnesses, they will gradually get closer to Jin.
Not only them, but also the big families and organizations including the 4 major powers couldn’t stand still.
Jin instantly became a celebrity. By the name of Bamal, not Jean Runkandel or Jean Grey.
“Those who have seen Multa’s runes will be frantic and look for the knight. I think Kuzan and Veris and the special lease leader, Ratz, will be the most persistent.”
“Will the little ones be your opponents now?”
“I will be your opponent.”
“It looks like you went to the land of the Myungwang family and gained new strength, young man. I haven’t seen it myself, but seeing how active Zipple and Bement are, it seems like a great power that I can’t easily guess.”
“You will be surprised to see it, strawberry pie. We saw it once while we were on our way and it was amazing. Show me the strawberry pie later. With the spirit sword.”
“Of course it should.”
I was kind of embarrassed. But Gilly was just proud of himself.
“Let’s clean up now and have a drink after a long time, everyone. It is heartbreaking to see everyone gathered like this in Tikan again.”
said Gilly.
That day, Siris also enjoyed a party with his colleagues without returning to the Secret Palace. Siris was mostly silent while his colleagues laughed and chatted, but he was hiding a feeling of quiet joy inside.
* * *
When Jin and his colleagues were partying all night in Tikan.
In a secret villa in Hufester, unmanned people were gathered. It was Joshua and the people who followed him.
“The black helmet and the power of lightning… what do you think?”
Where Joshua’s eyes were directed, Kuzan and Berris stood with their hands behind their backs. On the table is a newsletter identical to the one Jin read.
The two swore obedience to Joshua after finishing organizing their minds a while ago. It was judged that if it were not for him who would later become the head of Runcandel, he would not be able to take revenge on the contractor and black dragon of Solderlet.
“I think it could be him.”
Kuzan replied. Veris was smiling at the young man sitting next to Joshua.
“Is it because of the black helmet?”
“That’s right. Since that day, I have searched the world like this, but I have never seen anyone wearing such a helmet. Since he is a magic swordsman, he should have been able to put lightning-type magic on his sword.”
Whoa…
Joshua exhaled smoke with a heavy expression.
“…Yes, I thought so too.”
“Do you think Sir Barmal is not the contractor for the solderlet we were after?”
Joshua nodded at Kuzan’s question.
“Well, I’m not sure. I would have come to the same conclusion as you had it not been for new information. That he put on a show to hide that he was a solderlet contractor.”
“If you tell me what kind of information came in…”
“It wasn’t a show. The brainchild used by Bamal in the article was not revealed to the media, but it is said that five white wolf raiding leaders died on the spot in an instant. in that brain.”
Veris, who was laughing at Kuzando and the young man, also bit his lip.
They haven’t had any information about Solderlet’s contractor since Tymune Marius’ death.
In the meantime, a powerful person wearing a ‘black helmet’ appeared, and of course I expected it to be him. It’s not a spirit, it’s a brain!
Kuzan and Berris couldn’t understand it at all. It was more shocking than the fact that there was a high possibility that Barmal was not their enemy, rather than the fact that the five white wolf raiding leaders were killed during the Brainstorm.
“Five white wolf raiding leaders? Just look at him, he’s a different guy. If his magical achievement had been that level, both Kuzan and I would have been roasted whole the first time we met. What the hell is a bamal? I don’t think he’s a wizard.”
Veris said that and made a provocative look.
Then, sitting next to Joshua, he licked his lips while looking at the young man who was always expressionless.
“Hey you. Are you a real Paytel contractor? From my point of view, Barmal seems to be the contractor?”
Life flashed in the young man’s eyes. Soon, a thunderbolt began to occur in his body.
“stop.”
At Joshua’s words, the young man became emotionless again.
“Five white wolf raiding leaders in one moment… How is it, Yulian? Could you do the same?”
“Unable to.”
When the young man answered calmly, Joshua shook his head.
“Then it seems the time has come to strengthen your strength.”
Veris licked her lips as if satisfied. After she came under Joshua and met Yulian, she has been harassing him and getting pleasure.
Julian’s hands under the table were trembling. But it wasn’t anger at Berris, it was a shiver from fear of Joshua.
