Chapter 275,
Chapter 88. Unexpected meeting of the congratulatory delegation (1)
“I was too careless to say hello after the people below had made a mistake.”
Rosa said, putting down the teacup.
She was in Jin’s room right after receiving the report from the Guardian Knights.
“Yeah, I was careless. If this body wakes up and finds the Garden of Swords, wouldn’t it be right for you and your husband to greet me? But the head of the household left without saying hello and the lower ones were rude, so I’m not the only one disappointed.”
“As of now, we will take measures so that everyone belonging to the Garden of Swords can serve Murakan at the same level as the family elder.”
For a moment, Murakan’s eyebrows twitched at the expression that he was at the same level as Daewonro.
It’s because it’s annoying to be treated the same as Daewonro.
However, Murakan decided not to be drunk with the ‘old days’ anymore. Not only has it not yet regained its full strength, but it has been more than a thousand years since Temar left the earth.
When Temar first raised Runcandel, Murakan was closer to Runcandel than anyone else.
He was more of an outsider now. Even with Rosa, who holds real power, it is an obvious hostile relationship.
‘The scenery and people are all different from a thousand years ago. Temar, I miss you after a long time.’
Fisik Murakan burst into laughter.
“It seems that Runkandel has changed, but it has changed.”
“It makes sense that it evolves over time.”
“It’s development. If Runkandel had achieved such a thing, Ziffle would not have existed in this world. After losing magic, you guys have only been weakening for the past thousand years.”
“I’m just a mortal, so the grandeur of the old Runkandel can only be glimpsed through the records. I don’t dare to guess how strong Runkandel was at that time, but I just follow the traditions and laws.”
“Don’t you know that the traditions and laws also stem from the humiliating pact with Ziple?”
“I know.”
“But how could most of the family try to reject your youngest son, the only one who can break the oath?”
Rosa met Murakan’s eyes for a while.
“I heard that the elders have no intention of passing on the decisive battle and that you are about to give him a difficult task as soon as you arrive. I hope I can give you a convincing explanation.”
“Murakan. First of all, it is wrong to say that the youngest is the only one who can break the oath. Anyone with the power to subdue Zipple can make an oath a thing of the past.”
“What is engraved in the blood of Runcandel is a curse. It is a curse that seals in magical power, and cannot be destroyed with any magic or authority except for the power of the solderlet.”
“If Solderlet is so omnipotent, why have you left us alone for the past thousand years? Even Solderlet was the guardian deity of Zipple.”
At that point, Murakan had nothing to say.
why god is god It is a god because it protects the humans who serve it or realizes things that humans cannot do.
In that sense, Solderlet had never been the god of Runkandel after Temar’s death.
“Isn’t that why you signed a contract with your youngest son?”
“A simple contract will help the youngest individual’s strength, but it is difficult to have much meaning at the level of the entire family unless he manifests himself and lifts the curse. Rather, since the oath is broken, there is a high possibility that it will cause chaos within the family due to pressure from Ziple or damage to legitimacy.”
“It’s ridiculous to argue about legitimacy in front of me.”
Rosa touched the teacup.
“It is for that reason that the elders of the family do not want to pass on the decisive battle. Also, I think you have a misunderstanding… I’ve never given my youngest a task that was too difficult for him to handle.”
“Keep talking.”
“Killing the Black Knight’s spy is not the youngest’s sole mission. It’s a very important issue, so other great jockeys will be there as well. There was the will of the family head, so I also don’t want the youngest to go wrong. I know very well that the youngest has outstanding abilities.”
“It sounds like you want to throw away after making full use of that outstanding ability.”
“Anyway, the youngest is in a position where he has to continue causing surprises. Otherwise, you won’t be recognized here in Runkandel. Even if it became a jockey. Did that explain it?”
Murakan met Rosa’s eyes for a while.
“Okay then let me ask you one last thing.”
“Tell me.”
“Where is Temar’s grave?”
“I don’t know. Can I just leave?”
Rosa stood up before Murakan could answer.
“I will punish the knights who are rude to Murakan.”
When Rosa left the room, Murakan clicked his tongue.
“Not as much as Chiron, but definitely. That’s not normal either.”
Then Gilly let out his choked breath and shook his head.
“Murakan-nim, you can’t imagine calling the mistress directly… I don’t think you should do this again next time. Madame is now the acting head of Runcandel.”
“I know, strawberry pie. I just wanted to talk to you one more time. Who is the little guy’s biggest enemy?”
“You don’t know how nervous I was that the mistress would show her displeasure.”
“I didn’t think it would be so lacking in dignity.”
“Anyway, you should stop embarrassing the mistress in front of everyone. If you don’t, even Murakan-sama will be referred to the family court… Eh!”
Suddenly, Gilly flinched and stopped talking.
It was because Rosa had just left the building outside the window and saw the way she slashed the Guardian Knights.
“Ouch!”
“Oops…!”
The red blood of the Guardian Knights was spurting through the intense sunlight beating down on the Garden of Swords.
All of them were guardian knights who disrespected Murakan while chasing Mary.
There was no expression on Rosa’s face as she cut them. Her sword quickly and accurately cut the arms and legs of the Guardian Knights.
And the guardian knight, who was the captain, was decapitated. Rosa doesn’t even look at his neck, which fell mercilessly.
Gilly reflexively covered his mouth, and Murakan watched the scene belatedly.
Of course, that was a warning to Murakan.
A warning not to expect to be treated as a family guardian dragon if you recklessly call yourself one more time.
Eventually, Rosa left as if nothing had happened, and the servants took care of themselves to collect the bodies of the dead and move the wounded.
* * *
“Did that happen?”
After returning from treatment, Gilly told Jin about the bloody scene during the day.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen the madam punish the guardian knights like that. I am concerned that all members of the family will shrink for a while.”
“All of them are Joshua’s knights anyway, so they would have died or been injured at my hands someday… but my mother was too kind. Even so, they devoted themselves to their family, but they punished them excessively for trivial things.”
“Is it just because you were angry with Mr. Murakan?”
“That’s not right. The mother’s intentions are unclear. He sent a message to his followers not to get involved with me at all. It means that you should be prepared to be very angry over trivial matters involving me.”
“I thought about it before, but what kind of mother do you mean? Little. The atmosphere in Temar’s Runkandel was also quite threatening, but at least there was affection for blood and relatives. There was a strong bond.”
“That bond still exists. Not all, only local. And there’s nothing to be surprised about, right? Gilly: Deliver condolences and compensation to the families of the guardian knights who died today. Secretly, without my name.”
Since the dead knight belonged to Joshua, he was clearly Jin’s enemy.
Nevertheless, ‘in a broad sense’, he is also a Runcandel person.
Enemies but subordinates. His death was the death of an enemy and the death of a family member.
Therefore, I thought that the minimum example of death should be prepared.
When he killed Joshua’s knights at Samil, he was a reserve rider, so there was no need for that, but now he is a rider.
Even if no one knows, even if you don’t intend to inform yourself, you are in a position to take care of the death of your family. Unless he betrayed his family or hurt Jin’s relatives.
“Yes, Bocchan. We’ll take care of it without making noise. And congratulations, you got your sword back.”
“I rolled around the magic bomb field to get this from Sister Mary. I seriously thought about killing my sister.”
“I think Lady Mary will be your reliable ally. And the young master, Elder Zed, sent someone earlier. He told me to come right after the visit of the congratulatory delegation for the boy.”
“okay.”
After that, Jin did not do any special activities for a while and focused only on personal training.
As soon as he returned, he caused a series of big incidents, so he needed to keep quiet.
In the meantime, rumors that Jin had ‘beaten Mary’ spread quickly in the Garden of Swords, and the fact that Jin was appointed as a rider also spread throughout the world.
It was only natural that the Garden of Swords and the outside world became noisy.
Dino dutifully wrote the article according to Jin’s order, and Kuzan and Julian took charge of ‘Mad Dog Jack Glow’ and ‘Death Knight Whilock’ one by one and were driving them to the snowy mountain area in the southeastern part of Mitel.
Like the core of a storm, only Jin’s time passed quietly.
Finally, on February 15, 1799.
The envoys to celebrate Jin began to visit the Garden of Swords one by one. The riders who went out to encourage the lower powers hadn’t returned yet.
Hufester’s samurai, all kinds of neutral forces, and even Bement sent envoys, but Jin rarely met those who came to see him. He even committed the rudeness of receiving gifts and just sending them.
“Do you mind if I just let you go, Bocchan?”
Jin nodded at Petro’s question.
“Anyway, there is no need to rush into accepting those who judge me for such a trivial act, and those who are bold in spite of my rudeness will recognize my worth on their own. Above all, I have nothing to give them right now. If you needlessly get closer, you will only end up in debt.”
When you have nothing to give, you owe someone a lot of money.
“I will only personally greet the envoys of the Kingdom of Delki, McLauran, and King Bilga of the Kingdom of Zane. Take the rest as gifts and send it back.”
“All right. Those who have shown special favor will be recorded separately.”
“ah! And if House Volta sends an envoy, report to me. I want to meet them in person.”
“Are you talking about the Volta family?”
Volta was one of the poorest aristocratic families in Hufestor.
And being poor in Hufester meant that there was not a single outstanding warrior in the family.
It was difficult for Petro to readily understand that he had sent all the envoys of all kinds of powers and major powers and had to directly receive the envoys of such a fallen nobleman.
‘Oops, you brought up the story of Volta too carelessly.’
The moment Petro tilted his head, Jin subtly looked around.
Fortunately, Gilly and Murakan did not hear this and were chatting among themselves.
‘If I ever need to tell the two of them why I took Volta, I’ll have to make an appropriate excuse then.’
The reason Jin wanted to take care of the Volta family was because of the memory of his previous life.
However, unlike Murakan Gilly, Petro was not a ‘fellow’, but a follower, and Jin was a full-fledged horseman.
When giving an order, there is no need to convince or explain in detail.
‘In Akin, Jet was needed to use the memories of the previous life, and after that, Sir Casimir’s help played a big role. But now I don’t have to.’
Realizing that fact, Jin smiled inwardly.
“I understand, young man. When the Voltaic envoy arrives, I will report to you immediately.”
