Chapter 276 Chapter
88. Congratulatory delegation Unexpected encounter (2)
Delki Kingdom Holy Kingdom Bilga Voltaga McLoranga.
Delki was the first to arrive among the envoys from the five factions who were scheduled to meet in person. It was the third prince of Delki, Laika, who led the envoys.
“Confucius Qin no. Now I’m going to have to call you Sir. Long time no see.”
“I was waiting for you, Prince Laika. You can call me comfortably as before.”
“You became a jockey, but you cannot continue to be called Confucius.”
-There is something you want from me. Please tell me, Prince Laika.
– In the future, when Gongja becomes a rider, please send more Guardian Knights to our Delki. Please give me back a small share of Runkandel’s Delki Gold Mine.
The conversation we had as soon as we woke up at Laika’s villa after fighting Kuzan.
Jin was greatly helped by him twice as a reserve jockey.
During the first fight with Kuzan, if it hadn’t been for Laika, I wouldn’t have saved my life.
Also, when capturing Kuzan, thanks to Laika, he was able to find him before Joshua.
“How is the atmosphere in Delki these days?”
Laika’s expression darkened as Jin asked.
“There are no major problems internally. The brotherhood is good, and public sentiment is still toward the royal family. But the Zipple die-hards are the problem.”
Zipple ardent follower.
All of the top-class life-killing magic bombs Mary used on Jin were taken from them.
They were acting as Ziffle’s henchmen all over the world, more than ever before.
In the past, terrorism stemming from the excessive praise of fanatics was the main focus.
However, these days, it seemed that the extreme followers were receiving direct support from Ziple.
Those who had been rampaging recklessly in the form of a point organization suddenly and systematically airlifted magic bombs and formed a chain of command to terrorize all of Hufester.
In addition, now there are a lot of excellent wizards of 6 stars or higher. It would be impossible without the support of huge powers.
However, it was only ‘simple’ to the end, and Hufester had yet to find a direct link between Jiple and his extreme followers.
“At least a couple of civilian casualties are occurring every day due to their terrorism. Even if they are caught and tortured for some reason, there is no way to break the upper line, so it is a headache.”
“I’m sorry, Prince Laika. I can’t say I’m not responsible for Zipple supporting them in earnest.”
The fact that he became such an intense follower coincided exactly with the time when Jin revealed his identity.
Already among the Hufesters, there was talk of ‘We are suffering damage because of Jin Runkandel’.
“Since you destroyed the golden castle of Ziple at the end of the reserve jockey, it could be retaliation for that. But Jin. Even if it wasn’t Gongja anyway, Jiple would have had followers someday. Whenever the mask of justice has been removed or they have been put on the defensive.”
What Leica said was right.
The ‘war’ between Runcandel and Zipple is bound to happen inevitably in one form or another.
The rise of followers is just the beginning, and countless more will die in the future. There could be no war without people dying.
Regardless of whether Jin started it or whoever did it, the end result would have been the same if he hadn’t had the strength to wipe out the ziple at once.
Even so, Jin felt a heavy responsibility.
“I don’t know the whole situation well, but I believe that Sir is the person who will eventually make Hufester a richer land than it is now.”
“You are overeating.”
“It is not flattery. Please know that empty-headed nobles are talking nonsense about being bothered by Gyeong, but public sentiment is not. At least the people of Delki do not forget the courage and results you showed as a reserve rider. I will always fight on your side against Ziffle.”
Laika brought various jewelry and excellent weapons, but the real gift he prepared was sincere support and encouragement.
As Laika said, many people in Hufester were supporting Jin.
To reveal Ziffle’s hypocrisy, to fight for those trampled by Ziffle, to count the victims, and to be angry.
Risking one’s life was not something anyone could do.
“Thank you, Prince Laika. I will fulfill my promise with you before the end of this year.”
After Laika went back, an envoy from the family of Wilga came.
In fact, he did not meet the envoys of the royal family of Jean, but received only the envoys of the Biel family, so Sember Bill, who led the envoys, could not help but be extremely excited.
“Princess Ji Jin! No Jin Kyung! Great Twelve Horsemen of Runkandel! I knew this day would come…! Congratulations!”
“Thanks to you, Cumber, I started my life as a reserve jockey comfortably. Nice to meet you.”
Likewise, good words came and went for a while.
“How is Jeanne these days?”
“It is very peaceful! Ziffle’s fierce followers are not terrorizing in Zane’s kingdom.”
“It must be because of Kingelo.”
Since the kingdom of Zane is in close proximity to the land of beastmen, its followers were not recklessly active.
“That’s right, Jin. After Kingelo revealed his power during the Seongguk Incident, rather than before, the kingdom of Jean had less crime. In addition to the perception that it is safe, traders who want to do business with Kingelo are constantly coming.”
The perception that Kingelo is a mediocre third-rate terrorist organization has been completely erased from the world. Following Zipline Runkandel Bement, it is emerging as the fourth force.
‘Zipple is still feeling the burden of engaging in an all-out war with Kingelo. Seeing that only Zane’s kingdom is free from terrorism, it’s clear that Ziffle is in command of his fierce followers. It was judged that if prisoners were involved in terrorism, the problem could become bigger.’
Sember then delivered unexpected news.
“Do you know the Geumseol Tribe named Jinkyung and Pang?”
“I know. These are the friends who returned Bradamante to the family.”
“Recently, the Golden Snow Tribe merchants led by Pangyi have surpassed our Bilg family and become the number one tribe in the Kingdom of Zane. Can you believe it? It happened in just one year. I used the money I received from Runkandel to run various businesses, and everything I did was insanely successful.”
“okay?”
I expected that the Geumseol Tribe would become rich, but I didn’t expect it to be that much.
“Yes, even my father said he was good at sticking out his tongue. The reason Pang suddenly brought up the story was because he asked me to tell him a story when he met Kyung.”
“say it.”
“The business is ready, so the Lord said just come… It seemed that if only Confucius could meet, he would wipe out all of Hufester’s money. I don’t think it’s just an ulterior motive to make money.”
Cute guys Jin swallowed the words and smiled.
“Tell me you know.”
I don’t know what it was, but it seemed that the Golden Snow Tribe had something prepared.
Sember went back after talking in a more thrilled voice for a while.
What he left behind, of course, was a huge amount of gold coins.
Jin gave all the gold coins to Gilly.
After Cember left, the envoys of Holy King Rani visited the Garden of Swords.
Since she is a special guest as Runcandel, Rosa came to meet her.
However, after only a formal greeting with Rosa, Rani blessed the Colon survivors and went straight to Jin.
Rani had become a person with a completely different atmosphere from the last time we met.
His eyes are as hard as rocks, his demeanor is imbued with divine dignity, and his attitude is never lacking in the crown of a dormant volcano.
“Jin-kyung.”
“Your Highness the King.”
For a while, the two looked at each other without speaking.
While I couldn’t see them, I felt like I knew how thick and deep each of them had gone through a time of growth.
“You have become stronger.”
“Your Highness, too, cannot find the weakness of the past.”
“Don’t be so formal when we’re alone. I’m sorry.”
“That’s right, Salome.”
Although the time together was not long, the two felt a strong bond.
It was only natural that they watched the sacrifice of an honest knight together and saved the kingdom from being eroded together.
Rani smiled.
“A little over a year has passed, but Seongguk has not yet completely come out of chaos. Some traitors are still alive and breathing.”
“Still, since you are firmly holding the kingship, it will soon become a real kingdom of saints again.”
“With the news that Gyeong returned safely and became a flag bearer, the subjects who were tired of the long seclusion are regaining their vigor. Sir Bitura must be watching from Ayula’s arms.”
“Lord Bitura’s family is adjusting well at Sister Luna’s estate. Before you step down from the throne, it would be good for them to know that Sir Bitura was a more honorable paladin than anyone else.”
“I will. Aren’t you curious what the gift I brought, Sir Jin?”
“tell me.”
“It is a saint. After today, we will stop seclusion and dispatch saints, limited to Hufester. The target of relief is the victims of civilians who were attacked by the fierce followers of Zipple.”
It was Rani’s consideration to understand and relieve Jin’s heavy heart.
“Can you afford to say that you are still confused?”
“We can afford to dispatch about 500 saints. Instead, please support the Seongguk’s operational funds.”
It wasn’t to the extent that Jin was concerned, but Seongguk was suffering from financial difficulties. It wasn’t that Ziffle offered gold to the Holy Kingdom for nothing.
Of course, there were many forces who wanted to support even after the incident because of the special nature of the country called Seongguk.
However, Rani was waiting without the backing of any faction.
I hope Jin will come back.
“Being sponsored means that the Holy Nation is officially allied with that faction. As I said before, I intend to ally with Sir Gene Runcandel.”
Rani put more effort into the pronunciation of Runkandel, not Runcandel.
“You are in luck Rani Salome. The money allocated for the 12th class cannot support the Holy Kingdom in earnest, but an excellent fund line just opened up.”
“I look forward to it. You don’t have to tell me exactly how much support you want, right? I don’t think there will be that much of a difference between Confucius and me. We are friends.”
Rani deliberately used the old expression ‘Confucius’ instead of kyung.
“You have a sly corner. Well, since he became the king of a country, it’s an essential element. I will do my best to give generously, so please officially announce that my influence has played a part in sending the Holy Sons to Hufester.”
“After all, there is no way to miss a thing. I just wanted to announce that it was Ayula’s will. By the way, where is the black cat I saved?”
“I’ll call you over, so let’s have a cup of tea. But when he comes, he will become a sage king and hear the voices of religious people. Are you okay?”
“Well, I didn’t really hate that nickname.”
Murakan laughed and chatted for a long time, as if Rani was very happy.
Rani left in the evening.
And until midnight approached, Gilly’s hometown, McLauran, hadn’t sent an envoy.
Since the Garden of Swords decided to accept all envoys regarding Jin only today, McLauran meant that he had no intention of congratulating Jin.
“I’m sorry, Bocchan.”
“Why are you sorry?”
“My family is disrespecting the young master. It’s probably because of me.”
