Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Chapter 267

Chapter 267 Chapter

85. Ceremony for appointing a jockey

The jockey’s corridor.

The huge corridor located on one side of the Garden of Swords was longer than any other building in Runkandel.

And on both walls of the aisle, the names of past Runkandel riders were written.

Among the jockeys, the portraits of those who performed exceptionally well were hung together.

Jin walked down the aisle carefully reading the names on the wall.

Laughter broke out again.

Surprisingly, most of the list of jockeys from the last thousand years is in memory.

‘How many books have I read about jockeys in my previous life?’

Now, his name would be engraved at the end of this list of names that stretched like the Milky Way.

jerk jerk.

As I approached the end of the corridor, I felt a tremendous energy.

The power naturally exuded by Shiron, Rosa, eleven riders, and about a hundred knights.

At this moment, I felt the excitement of a child.

In the thousand-year history of Runkandel, the only pure-blooded Runkandel that did not become a standard bearer of the family was Jin in his previous life.

Even that was not enough, and in the end, all of his life in the family was denied and his records were erased and he was even banished.

But now he is walking confidently through this corridor.

‘A whopping 47 years… it took me.’

28 years of the previous life and 19 years of the current life.

In an instant, the tip of his nose became cold.

My body trembled at the fact that I had finally returned to my place after going through one life.

By the time we reached the end of the corridor, Jin refined his expression and breathing.

Chiron and Rosa were seated in the center at the end of the corridor, and in front of them stood eleven brothers in uniform.

I could also see hundreds of knights taking their seats in a circle, and family officers and painters looking at the scenery with serious faces.

“Jin Runkandell, the 12th Horseman, come this close.”

Rosa was the first to speak.

She was smiling proudly, but Jin didn’t know that the smile was not sincere.

‘Mother is the biggest enemy.’

Standing right in front of her is Joshua Runkandel’s first older brother.

The greatest base of his power was Rosa.

One thing I’m curious about.

‘How far would my mother know?’

That Joshua was trying to curse him, that he was trying to steal his contract, that he had a prophet, and that prophet used mysterious and dark powers, such as making a clone of Joshua.

Would Rosa Runkandel not know such things?

‘Your mother can’t be that naive. In my previous life, after I was banished from my family, the reason I stopped eating grain for two days might have been because of the guilt of the curse.’

It was possible that Rosa not only knew Joshua’s actions, but also took some initiative.

A hateful and disgusting heart soared.

If Rosa joined the curse, it must be because, in your judgment, you thought it was the way for Runkandel.

This terrible family has always been like that.

Each one pursues what he or she pursues, and only does what is beneficial to Runkandel.

In that series of actions, there was no room for trivial emotions such as blood and kinship to intervene.

Even if it’s to instigate a curse that cripples a baby.

Even if it’s something worse than that. In the end, if it was for the family, and the result was appropriate, there would be no problem.

‘Thanks to my mother and Joshua’s judgment, I lived with my teeth clenched even more, so my mother was right.’

If you hadn’t seen with your own eyes the dream of a cutlery that attacked your cradle when you were one year old.

Jin would have become a less strong person than he is now.

Revenge and hatred were sometimes the biggest driving forces in life.

Also, Jin doesn’t know yet, but Rosa had chosen Jin as the next head of the household after Joshua.

That judgment, too, was regarded as a path for Runkandel by Rosa at the time.

‘Of course now that I’m back, Mom and Joshua will have to take responsibility for that. It is your turn to respect my judgment, just as I have decided to respect your disgusting judgment.’

Even if Rosa did not directly participate in the curse.

It didn’t mean much to Jin anymore.

In any case, Rosa will not give up on making Joshua the head of the household.

Jin also smiled at Rosa.

Then, as they settled down in front of Shiron and Rosa, the riders drew their swords and raised them in unison.

Sreung!

Riders lined up on either side, cutting a path with swords.

Brothers Luna Joshua Luntia Dipus Lan Vigo Mary Mu and Tona.

All eleven brothers were hiding the feelings they felt while watching Jin.

‘You will be the king of this terrible family. I will definitely make it.’

‘In the end, everything will flow according to the fate of the prophecy.’

Luna and Joshua’s heart.

‘A magic swordsman… I didn’t know that this guy would play a role in shaking the foundations of Runkandel.’

‘I expected you to challenge me, but I don’t know if I’m in a position where I have to challenge myself!’

Difus and Mary.

‘It’s not like Joshua-hyung kept this guy in check for nothing.’

‘Mu Ann must be in trouble.’

Ran and Bugo.

‘Damn it, now I need Joshua’s brother’s strength to step on that guy.’

‘I should have killed him then!’

Mu and Ann.

‘By the way… Since the maknae is under our rank, is the official rank lower than us?’

‘Couldn’t the youngest be just harassing us like Mew and them? First of all, as Emma said, I have to look good to the youngest….’

Brother Tona.

And Jin seemed to be able to read all of the brothers’ thoughts.

Except for one person, Runtia.

‘It means I don’t know what Runtia is thinking.’

Runtia The only sibling that Luna finds somewhat difficult.

In fact, she had only three words in her mind.

‘…It’s annoying.’

Runtia was already annoyed that Jin’s return would bring blood to the family again.

And, if possible, he also wanted the youngest to be as quiet as he was.

‘Sister Jonah is doing well. It must have been a fuss that I was gone.’

The only brother not here.

Looking at the landscape like a beast’s den, he felt reassured that she was on his side.

Before long, Shiron met Jin’s eyes.

“Come past.”

Jin carefully entered the path of swords spread by the riders.

Every time Jin passed the road, two swords fell. like a door closing.

Lastly, Luna alone lowered her sword.

As all the riders lowered their swords and maintained their posture, the knights drawing a circle raised their swords at once.

“Jin Runkandel has finally earned the right to hoist the family banner anywhere. From now on, as the family’s 12th horseman, Jin Runkandel will carry the mission and authority accordingly, but keep in mind that all of that can be taken away at any time as soon as it tarnishes the family’s honor.”

“I will keep in mind the 12th Horseman, Gene Runcandel.”

“Return the swords of the riders and guardian knights to their place.”

It was the most important ceremony in the installation ceremony.

Raising the swords of the riders who had fallen to the floor and lowering the swords of the towering guardian knights again.

The riders’ swords had to be raised and the guardian knights’ swords had to be struck down. With Jin’s sword.

Failure to do this did not prevent him from becoming a jockey, but failing to do so would leave a stain on him immediately after becoming a jockey.

And at this time, it was customary for the brothers to accept the new rider’s sword without much resistance.

Jin turned around and slowly pulled out Sigmund.

The black Luna’s Krantel that needs to be raised first. The heavy ax sword that was hanging down felt like it was holding up with a lot of strength.

Luna smiled softly. She was playing a practical joke.

Of course, it was a prank stemming from the thought that Jin would be able to raise the Krantel that he was holding down with his own strength.

Quaang!

There was a roar as Jin pushed Sigmund up.

Luna barely suppressed her startled heart and naturally raised her sword.

‘No, so why are you pushing it so hard? My wrist hurts, you bastard!’

Krantel stood up again, and Jin returned a smile as he passed Luna.

And the other brothers who tried to break the ‘custom’ quietly folded their minds.

Mew and Anne also wanted to interfere, and Mary also wanted to break the convention and experience the power of Jin.

The ten swords of the remaining riders quietly rose to their places without a strong strike.

Then it was the turn of the hundreds of guardian knights to lower their swords.

‘All of them were filled with only advanced Guardian Knights.’

It was not customary for the Guardian Knights to politely lower their swords when the new rider’s sword touched them.

Instead, it was common to assign an appropriate guardian knight according to the rider’s achievements.

In the case of the Tona brothers, more than half of them were low-class Guardian Knights, which was only slightly below the average Runcandel rider.

The Guardian Knights were maintaining their immobility with their sword-holding hands full of strength.

He had to lower all those hundred or so swords.

And for Jin, who had already passed Garmund’s test the first time he went to Lapla Rosa, it was not a difficult problem.

Chaeng Chaeng! bang-!

Every time Jin struck, the swords of the Guardian Knights dropped to the floor.

The Guardian Knights just silently accepted Jin’s sword without showing any embarrassment.

‘Now I won’t be able to surprise you with this much.’

Contrary to Jin’s thoughts.

The Guardian Knights were in deep shock.

In particular, some of the knights who were trying their best to withstand the agreement had a hard time admitting that Jin hadn’t even reached an agreement yet.

It took about ten minutes for the rider’s sword to soar into the sky again and all the guardian knights’ swords to land.

When Jin returned from the ceremony, Rosa seemed to be satisfied with a smile on her face.

“I will finish the flag-bearer appointment ceremony. Now, Jin Runkandel, go through the Horseman’s Corridor and go to the Elders’ Hall to face the family elders.”

The appointment ceremony is over.

Jin officially became the twelfth Horseman of Runkandel and was entitled to ‘meet the Elders as a Horseman’.

Meeting the elders as a jockey was a big difference from being a cadet or reserve jockey.

It was because it was the elders who passed on the ‘family decisive battle’ and ‘secret skill’ to the riders of Runcandel.

‘Since my mother and Joshua have already given the elders medicine, it’s probably going to be embarrassing. If at least one person willingly stepped forward and said that he would pass it on, he would not forget it.’
