Chapter 269 Chapter
86. When Jin, the unwelcome trustworthy rider (2),
withdrew, all those gathered at the elders’ meeting room dispersed.
Jed naturally followed Jin and stabbed him in the side.
“Uncle Jed. Earlier, I couldn’t properly greet you because the situation wasn’t good…”
“Isn’t that the first thing you want to say to me? When I was in the intermediate class, I was wondering how I succeeded in the Mamit mission. It must have been magic! Where the hell did you learn magic back then? Ah, Murakan-nim must have told you.”
“I had no choice but to survive. sorry.”
“You say that with a shiny face.”
Jed wanted to rummage through the brains of his rambunctious late-born nephew.
“jin.”
“Yes, Uncle.”
“Ah, your behavior was cool, but Elder Jorden is a formidable person, unlike his appearance. Even if he looks like a narrow-minded old man, he is a very clever and strong man.”
“I know. Aren’t you the one who survived the rank war with your father?”
“That’s… it’s correct to interpret that the head of household just looked after it. Anyway, why did a guy who knows well run rampant like a mad dog?”
“I was simply following my uncle’s teachings.”
“what?”
“Didn’t you teach me to struggle every day in my intermediate class? I have actually been practicing those words throughout my life, and throwing rather provocative remarks at the elder was part of that.”
Jed was speechless for a while.
‘Even when I was a cadet, it seemed like my liver came out of the boat… but what are all these crazy people? Even the head of a household in his youth didn’t go out like this.’
Just like in the intermediate class, this time too, Jin was stimulating Jed’s taste at once.
“Anything in excess is overflowing. If you continue to do so, even if this body tells you the decisive battle, you may not be able to use it properly. I will pass it on soon, so please wait for my contact.”
“Thank you, uncle. I will not forget today’s consideration.”
“I will forget whenever I judge you to be out of line.”
It was never an empty word.
‘Anyway, even those who are kind to me treat me like a villain to some extent.’
The villain or the prodigal son who returned.
Right now, in Runkandel, Jin is being treated just like that.
The only people who sincerely welcomed Jin were Shiron and Luna. Shiron did not express his feelings, and Luna was still in a position where he could not defend Jin in earnest.
At least it was possible to see that Emma welcomed Jean.
However, she was just trying to use Jin to promote the safety of herself and the Tona brothers, and she didn’t really like Jin.
discrimination and prejudice.
Fighting something like that has been a habit in my previous life.
Also, the current treatment of villains was not unfounded, so it was easy to understand.
The moment he sends Jed away and returns to the room where Gilly and Murakan are waiting.
“Youngest boy.”
A middle-aged man with neatly combed hair came up to Jin and bowed his head.
Jin looked at his clothes for a while and accepted his greeting.
“Congratulations on your promotion, Petro. You became the number one butler.”
“thank you. It’s no different, the lord called a jockey meeting. I also have to say congratulations to the Bocchan. Isn’t this your first jockey meeting? Please go to the head of the house.”
As soon as he arrived, he received the sword of Shiron, had an appointment ceremony, met the elders, and this time it was a meeting. At this point, I thought that the first day of my return to Jindo had flowed rather hecticly.
“Okay.”
“And I am very happy that you returned safely. I hope I can be of great help to you in the future.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
For the first time in the Garden of Swords, I met a person who treated me plainly and kindly.
However, for some reason, Jin felt a little ominous about Petro’s attitude.
It wasn’t because he felt that Petro was behaving differently on the inside, it was just a kind of bad feeling.
Upon arriving at the office, the eyes of the brothers who were waiting for Jin focused.
And while reading the expressions of the brothers, who are not much different, Jin noticed that Luna’s face was especially dark.
‘What’s wrong with Sister Luna? Why was Petro’s friendly attitude strangely ominous?’
Petro was from Luna.
“All gathered. sit down.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Jin took a seat in the last seat.
Shiron spat out the first word without any explanation or warning.
“As of today, I am leaving for the Black Sea again. In the past, I have had many occasions to return to my family for various reasons, but this time I will not leave the Black Sea until there are clear results.”
The riders nodded heavily.
No one dared to ask what kind of achievement he was going to achieve on the Black Sea.
“Also, the 1st rider and the three black knights will join me in this Black Sea mission.”
There must be a reason for your sister’s expression to be dark.
Jin deliberately did not look at Luna.
It was true that Luna’s sudden appearance was embarrassing.
However, it was fatal for Shiron to see Luna conscious at such a moment.
If it was Shiron, even such a trivial act could be accepted as meaning ‘I can’t do anything without Luna sister’.
“The fact that I had many occasions to return temporarily from the Black Sea is the same as saying that the riders did not meet my expectations. Everyone will have to step up.”
“I’m sorry, my lord.”
“sorry.”
The riders bowed their heads in unison, and Rosa stepped out.
“You guys will always have work to do as the 1st rider is put on a long-term mission. Today, the new 12th rider has arrived, so the empty seats should be filled in a little bit. So, riders, stay on your toes, but don’t worry too much.”
With that one word, Rosa cut Luna’s dignity and predicted Jin’s future.
Rosa’s words had the nuance that the 1st rider and the 12th rider were on the same level, but it also contained the meaning of handing over the missions that Luna had been in charge of to Jin.
‘It seems that he decided to kill me by drying me up.’
For Jin, it was something to be welcomed.
It was better to accept a task and complete it, no matter how difficult, than to deliberately not give one.
All sorts of sabotage and misrepresentation were a natural step, but in the end, it was just a matter of completing all the missions without making a single mistake.
In the end, the flow had no choice but to flow naturally to Jin.
‘Mother and Joshua will do all kinds of dirty tricks to keep that from happening.’
Looking back, Rosa’s number was not much different from the way Joshua and Mu Ann pressed Jin.
However, even if they made a similar move, Jin would have to be nervous if the subject was Rosa.
In both intellect and force, she was far superior to Joshua.
It has already been decades since he commanded the Sword Garden on behalf of Shiron, who was always out on the Black Sea, and had Runkandel in his palm.
“As always, in my absence, Rosa assumes supreme command over the family. It is important for you to decide whether you are superior or inferior, but always keep in mind that the current situation is not good.”
It was quite surprising that Shiron directly left the words that the current situation was not good, so the ranking war should be moderated.
It was a story that gave Rosa wings, and it was also a message telling her that the riders’ world is full of things that Jin doesn’t know.
“Three riders.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“How many spies of Ziffle are currently in the Garden of Swords?”
“The ones that have been accurately identified are servants, ninety-seven low-level guardian knights, twenty intermediate-level guardian knights, twelve high-level guardian knights, five butlers and gatekeepers of second-class or higher, fifteen horsemen, binary two, executive knights, five elders, seven, and one black knight. In addition, it is estimated that there are at least twenty other spies capable of lethal intelligence.”
The moment I heard Runtia’s report, I almost let out a sigh.
‘what? A black knight?’
It was really shocking that there was a spy who was confirmed to be a black knight, as well as the second jockey and the executive knight.
“Who is the spy we planted in Zipple?”
“Forty servants, ten low-level wizards, five middle-level wizards, one elder, and one mage tower wizard at the Ziffle Headquarters. That is all.”
For a moment, Jin wondered if this conversation might be a kind of declaration ceremony.
To intimidate people by deliberately exaggerating the information warfare situation.
However, Shiron Runkandel couldn’t have been a great man who would do trivial things like that.
“As such, they use various magic and artifacts to maintain thorough security. On the other hand, the Garden of Swords is like playing in their crystal ball.”
“It’s all because I’m lacking.”
“It is lamentable that the enemies are still going strong even after I ascended Changseong, but you are not at fault. However, the Black Knight spy needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.”
“I’d like to give it to the 12 Horsemen as their first mission.”
At those words, only Jin and Joshua did not twitch even a little.
The rest of the brothers were in the middle of the day, but they couldn’t hide their embarrassment.
It was a feeling of bewilderment stemming from a feeling of being overjoyed, a feeling of exhilaration, or a feeling of wondering what would happen if the youngest member accomplished the mission using the power of the guardian dragon, Murakan.
It has always been like that.
Although there was a secret called aura and magic, whenever everyone believed that he would die this time, Jin returned victoriously.
Therefore, there is no doubt that there is an ominous belief among the brothers that Jin may succeed in ‘assassination of the black knight’.
“I will leave it to your judgment.”
Rosa slightly lowered her head, and Shiron looked at Jin.
He didn’t say anything to Jin.
Shiron’s personal guidance and care, which had been done unknowingly, had really come to an end.
However, if interpreted in the opposite way, it also meant that Shiron believed in Jin.
“I will close the meeting. 1 2 3 4 riders stay and the others go back and wait for Rosa’s instructions.”
The jockeys who left the office began to scatter to their respective residences.
Ran and Vigo gave orders to their butlers waiting outside and left the hallway, while Myu and Ann smiled at Jin and disappeared.
The Tona brothers seemed to want to say something to Jin, but nothing came to mind, so they wandered around and turned around.
food.
The moment Jin laughed lightly as he looked at Tona’s back.
One of the last remaining brothers patted Jin on the shoulder.
“hey! This kid has grown up and is back! Very satisfied.”
“Sister Mary.”
“As for this older sister, as soon as she saw you, she was so itchy that she thought all her hair was growing. Let’s go, I need to get some money for the phoenix heart.”
“Even so, I was also a little dizzy. Shall we have a light drink and talk about the backlog?”
Mary immediately frowned.
“what? What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I waited that long to have a drink with you? Hurry up and catch up with me.”
Jin looked at her and smiled.
“I don’t like that, sister.”
