77. Villain (4)
Originally, Jin could never win a public opinion war with them.
It was because even if they stabbed Zipple’s loopholes well, there was too big a gap in media control. Zipline, who has been disguising themselves as ‘sun’ so far, has been able to take control of the media.
But now, Jin also has that kind of power.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that all the media from around the world are now gathered here in Seongguk.
There are several reporters who can be called great reporters, including Dino. Most of them were from Runcandel or Zipple Bement, but there were a few that belonged to the neutral press.
‘It looks like a barrel full of oil.’
Jin thought as he looked over at the reporters gathered in the plaza.
Soon, the oil drum called the press will touch the fire of the dino and burn like crazy. To the point that even Zipple couldn’t handle it.
‘Zipple Kingelo. Looking back, I had a bad relationship with them as soon as I left the storm.’
Suddenly, as soon as he left the storm castle, he remembered that he was attacked by Ziffle’s fierce followers who had been helped by Kingelo.
Perhaps the fight with them from then on might have been a foreseen sequence. It is also an object that must be defeated after reaching the pinnacle of Runkandel.
three o’clock in the afternoon.
“What is that?”
The crowd, angry at someone’s voice, looked up at the sky in the distance.
There, Zipple’s giant ship ‘Co-Jek’ was leisurely flying over the capital.
Jin clenched his fist involuntarily at the sight of Ko-Jek, whom he hadn’t seen in a while.
Inside Ko-Jek, Ziple’s elite wizard unit ‘White Night’ and Carl Ziple were boarding.
“Cozek? Oh, why did you come again?”
As soon as he saw Kojek, Murakan opened his eyes.
“Since the riders of Runcandel reside in the Holy Land, it must have been necessary to show off the zip. It’s also sending a message to Runkandel to not even think about assassinating Carl Ziffle. You came here to apologize, but you’re acting like a power generation.”
“Anyway, these guys are funny. Ah, I get a fever thinking about all the hard work I did in Colon. I want to destroy it right now.”
“Confucius, then I’ll go get ready soon.”
“Yes, suffer.”
After Dino left, Kojek’s shadow was cast over the plaza. The subjects glared at the huge ship that was blocking the sun with eyes filled with anxiety and anger.
Ughhh…
Soon, a wide light flowed from the lower part of the Co-Jek and formed a staircase leading to the ground.
As the passengers started to get off the stairs, they saw Carl Ziple, whose whole body was restrained.
Carl had a very pale face wearing a gray cloth that commoner prisoners would wear.
As he descends the stairs, Carl gradually approaches the ground, and his subjects raise their angry voices toward him.
“Ooh!”
“What have you done to our brothers and sisters!”
“Aren’t you afraid of God to use humans as test subjects…!”
“You mad wizard! You fool!”
The mage lord of the ‘Zipple’, who was also pureblood, was hearing all sorts of complaints from the people of the small country.
Nothing like this has happened in the last few decades. Whether it causes problems at the family level or individually. Ziple has always been dealing with the aftermath by using non-pure blood spokespersons.
Angry voices are contagious.
The subjects, who were momentarily intimidated by seeing Ko-Jek, now began to rip their swords out and use evil with the force to kill them.
Carl, with his head lowered, was silent, and the wizards of the midnight sun behind him were expressionless.
Rani, as she had been told in advance by Jin, did not block this overheated atmosphere.
Whiik-!
puck!
One of the subjects who was watching Rani threw a stone the size of a fist at the knife. The forehead of the knife hit by the stoning burst and blood spattered, and the voices of the crowd died down in an instant.
Carl still had his head down. drip drip Even though blood flowed from his forehead, the wizards of the Midnight Nights behind him did not respond.
Of course, that was an unspoken permission. No matter what happens to Carl Zipline, the Zipline family will not get involved.
As Jin expected, Ziple planned to start exercising his skills in earnest after Carl died or was seriously injured.
“Say something!”
Puck Puck! Whiik!
As soon as Carl descended the stairs of light formed by Kojek, slingshots began to fly from all over the place.
He was stoned down and stood up five times.
At that time, reporters are working hard to write an article about the scene of this unusual punishment.
“Citizens, please stop!”
Lani groaned as she stood up slowly. The stoning stopped immediately and Carl staggered to his feet.
“Carl Ziple. Before receiving your confession, I want to ask you one thing.”
“…what is it?”
“Did the living golem experiment really take your initiative?”
To Carl, the question naturally sounded like ‘Is it you alone and not the whole Zipple?’
That’s why I had no choice but to answer as my father Kelliac Ziple ordered.
“exactly.”
“Can you swear?”
“It looks like you want to attribute my sins to the entire family, but you are wrong. Of course, from your point of view, you may feel that this situation is the tail-cutting of Ziffle. But I’m a pure-blood lord of the 4 Magic Towers. There are many other people besides me who can be tails.”
“Then why did you come yourself? I could have sent another tail.”
“Because my death is the only way to restore the family’s honor that has been lost because of me. Even if you show me mercy, my family won’t take me back. So kill me.”
“You are wishing for a very comfortable death. The lives of 3,000 innocent subjects you captured as test subjects amount to 3,000. Carl Zipple You will not enjoy death until you make a concrete statement on this.”
Rani spread healing magic all over the knife’s wounds. The wound healed quickly.
“By the way, Carl. Isn’t something strange?”
“What do you mean?”
“There are 823 subjects, not 3000, who were taken as test subjects.”
Carl was indeed the owner of the 4 Magic Towers.
Even after being tricked by Rani, her expression did not change.
“I didn’t know that Bitura Belter sent so many subjects.”
“Sir Carl Zipple!”
Someone called out a knife and stepped forward.
It was a Dino Jaglan.
“Sir Carl is not the subject of that heinous experiment! why are you lying? Why would you step out and try to frame your name!”
In an instant, everyone gathered in the plaza focused on Dino.
“What is that!”
“Are you Zipple’s minion? Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!”
“Fellow citizens, please forgive my rudeness. I am a journalist! His name is Dino Jaglan. Some of you may know, but I am not a Ziffle pen holder. He was the first reporter to report on Muron Ziple’s living golem experiments in Colon.”
buzz buzz.
“I, Dino Jaglan, can swear on the honor of the journalist and the Colon natives. I don’t know about the other leaders of the Zipple family, but Sir Carl Zipple has absolutely nothing to do with this living golem experiment!”
Dino took out a bunch of newsletters from his bag and scattered them around.
The discerning reporters were the first to rush forward and pick up the newsletter and read it.
Before they could read a few lines, the reporters were staring at Dino and Carl with their eyes wide open.
‘The fire spread.’
Jin smiled inwardly.
Until just now, only one Carl Ziffel had rolled on the ground ugly, but now the entire Ziffle would have to fight in the mud.
“The Dark Magic Society under Kingelo?”
“The place where the survivors were rescued was not the 4 Mage Tower, but the Dark Magic Citadel in the old Otterium?”
After being annihilated by Kingelo and Liol Ziple, known as third-class terrorist groups, the Dark Magic Society is said to have left only low-level remnants.
In the newsletter Dino spread, the names of organizations that were incomparable to Zipple were written.
In addition, it was reported that a mysterious powerful person known as ‘Bamal’ had disrupted the meeting between Ziffle and Kingelo six months ago, and the fact that Carl was kidnapped by Kingelo in the process was also described.
“Hey, Dino Jaglan! What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
A reporter shouted at Dino.
It was not easy for those who skimmed through the newsletter to understand the situation properly. Few people paid a kind glance to this young reporter who suddenly entered.
“Sir Rani said she could not name the hero who rescued the survivors, but I would like to say on behalf of Sir Rani, it is Sir Barmal. Yes, Sir Barmal, the supernova you are familiar with.”
“What are you talking about!”
“The colon aboriginal massacre incident that made me an absolute great reporter At that time, I described in an article that the hero who saved the aborigines was a ‘passer-by’. That passer-by was Sir Barmal. I became acquainted with Sir Barmal from then on, and I have left his heroic good deeds as a knight.”
At this point, Jin couldn’t help but lift his face in shame, and Murakan barely had to hold back his laughter.
Dino continued to explain while making eye contact with the people gathered in the plaza with a shameless yet spleen face.
“And he’s been tracking Ziffle’s misdeeds all this time. Because Ziple also conducted biological experiments on Colon natives. During the chase, Sir Barmal witnesses some sort of deal between Ziffle and Kingelo on an abandoned island in the Bellado Empire.”
“How does that relate to the current situation?”
“Please look at the top of page 2 of the newsletter I gave you. Kingelo is not a third-rate terrorist organization as you might think, but a huge force that was Zipple’s biggest ally. Sir Barmal deliberately lied to Sir Rani that he had rescued the survivors from the Four Magic Towers. The reason is…”
Sir Barmal was convinced that he was not alone in devouring the Holy Kingdom and conducting experiments on his subjects. So he tried to publicize them all at once by using the kidnapping of Carl Ziffle in Kingelo.
The long afterword prepared by Dino could not continue.
“I won’t listen to you any more.”
Si profit-!
It was because one of the Midnight Wizards standing behind the sword shot a magic beam at Dino.
The beam was directed directly at the dino’s head and spread so fast that most were not even aware of it.
Sgung!
However, someone in the crowd rushed out and cut the magic beam.
“Oh!”
Dino belatedly startled at the suddenly darkened vision and took a backward step.
“I thought killing and burying the truth was not you, but Hugh Fester’s culture. I find this story quite interesting. How about listening some more? The Wizards of Zipple.”
It was none other than Joshua Runkandel who saved Dino.
And before people even start to shake at the sight of the real mogul newly infiltrated.
“Lunkandel wasn’t directly attacked, but should I draw the sword recklessly? Lead sword, 2nd Horseman.”
Luna shook her head and stood in front of Dino.
No, she was already blocking Dino’s way before Joshua cut off the Midnight Wizard’s magic beam. With his bare hands, he perfectly cut the mana rays flying from different directions.
