Chapter 277 Chapter
88. Unexpected meeting of the congratulatory delegation (3)
“You’re not sending an envoy because of Gilly?”
I could feel so many emotions in her eyes and gestures. Shame, embarrassment, guilt… and bitterness and worry.
All kinds of negative emotions that make people small were entangled in her.
When Gilly bowed his head, Jin patted her on the shoulder without asking further.
“It’s okay, Gilly, you don’t have to be sorry. Don’t worry, I won’t have any particular ill feelings toward McLorran over this.”
Jin immediately pointed out what Gilly was worried about.
“… I have no face. Thank you for counting, young master.”
In fact, unlike Jin’s answer.
If the McLorrang family has hurt Gilly so much, if they have been bothering Gilly up to now, if they are in so much pain that they are still unable to tell themselves and Murakan what they have been through.
I was thinking of punishing the McLorran family later. Not sending an envoy was really no problem.
“Strawberry pie, don’t make a sad face and come here. That cute little guy playing king is over, so it would be perfect for adults to have a drink together.”
When Murakan naturally took Gilly, Jin found Petro.
“Petro.”
“Yes, young boy!”
“Could it be that the Volta family didn’t send someone?”
“I will check again.”
By the time Petro returned, it was already past midnight.
“It is strange. All kinds of fallen nobles came and went back, but only the Volta family didn’t send an envoy.”
Truly ‘floor crawling’ families like Volta didn’t even have to look at their brothers for sending an envoy.
It’s because they weren’t a valuable enough family to be able to interact directly with Runcandel in the first place.
The brothers wouldn’t care what kind of fallen nobles Jin met. Even Rosa.
Therefore, the weaker the family, the more they tried to establish a relationship with the pure-blooded Runcandel.
It was common for them to make offerings by squeezing out money they didn’t have, and to come back with even heirlooms.
However, Volta showed a completely different movement from other fallen families.
“That’s right, um…”
Jin thought for a moment.
‘Could it be that there is someone in the family who knows that there is a descendant of Picon Minche in the Volta family? At this time?’
Picon Minche.
The best blacksmith in the history of the continent without disagreement, and the person who forged Barisada and Bradamante.
Almost a thousand years have passed since Picon Minche died, but the continent’s best blacksmith group is still the ‘Minche Blacksmith Association’.
The official blacksmiths of the Minche Association received better treatment than most knights and wizards, regardless of whether they were in the Magical Federation.
In particular, the 3 blacksmiths of the Minche Association, called ‘Anvil’, ‘Hammer’ and ‘Fire’, treat even Shiron with special courtesy.
In this situation, who would have imagined that a direct descendant of Minche was working as a butler for a fallen aristocratic family.
‘The first time that fact was revealed in my previous life was when I was twenty-three and four. It was definitely on the verge of reaching 1st degree in swordsmanship.’
I still remember it vividly. Because it was an incident that shocked the whole of Hufester.
The descendants of Picon Minche were using the name ‘Vin Blanche’.
like everyone else did. He did not know that he was descended from the Picons, nor did his parents, great-grandparents, or great-great-grandparents.
In other words, Picon’s descendants lost their surname and identity of ‘minche’ at some point and lived as ordinary citizens. Depending on the marriage laws and customs of the time, the surname changed several times.
Then, out of nowhere, the blacksmith god dwelled in Vin Blanche, the butler of the Volta family.
To be precise, it was around 24 when Jin first ‘recognized’ the god of the blacksmith that had already been contracted.
‘My information from my previous life may be wrong. It was only around then that the anecdote of Bean Blanche was known to the world, and the family might have already known the identity of Bean before then. Especially since Joshua has a person called a prophet.’
Jin cleared his mind and nodded.
At that time, unlike now, Jin could not become a horseman and was secretly despised by the servants.
Therefore, it was not possible to properly perceive the situation in which the family was going. It was only natural that the days of going back to the room as if hiding after practicing meaninglessly all day long alone in a corner continued.
On the other hand, Joshua then was not very different from now.
Even if a brother other than Joshua had secured the empty branches, there would have been no need to share it with the scum of the family.
Jin didn’t even know who belonged to the faction after Vin Blanche was known as the blacksmith’s new contractor at the time.
Of course, I just assumed that he belonged to Runkandel.
In any case, the only way to know for sure is to meet them in person.
“Wasn’t the Volta family’s territory a countryside in the kingdom of Sucheron? Is there a travel gateway that I can go directly to?”
So, are you trying to find Volta right now?
Petro was a person who did not ask such things.
“No, Bocchan. I will immediately issue a flag-bearing order to the gate keepers to open the movement gate to the nearest city in Sucheron.”
* * *
As soon as he arrived at the southern gateway to Shucheron, Volta rode Shuri to the mansion.
Now, there was no problem even if the figure riding the Shuri was revealed, but Jin did not want to attract unnecessary attention, so he only used the mountain road.
“Who are you?”
The Volta family’s small mansion looked so shabby that it wouldn’t be strange if it collapsed soon.
The entrance was guarded by two skinny boys, embarrassing to even call them gatekeepers. I couldn’t tell if he was starving because he didn’t get his salary on time, or if he was getting paid well.
“I am Runcandel 12th Horseman Gene Runcandel. I’m here to meet the Volta family, so guide me.”
“Uh… uh!”
“I see! I am going! Lord! The Rider of Lu Runcandel has arrived!”
The two jumped up and shouted in search of the family head.
After a while, when the householder appeared (even the householder was quite ugly, if not as ugly as the boys), Jin almost burst into laughter.
As he stepped out, the door of the mansion was broken. In a sense of urgency, I opened the door a little harder than usual, and it happened.
At this point, Jin had to erase all the ‘why Volta didn’t send an envoy’ that he had been thinking about all along.
‘Looks like you’re poor, like you can’t even find a horse, let alone a gateway. What kind of envoy would he be in this situation?’
The reason Volta didn’t send envoys was simply because he didn’t have money.
No matter how ruined it was, it was surprising that such a family existed in Hufester.
“Why did the 12th Horseman of Lu Runcandel come to this shabby place?”
“I came to ask you something. But why the hell did it get to this point?”
It was my first time meeting him, but I couldn’t help but ask him.
“Ah, there has been a famine in the territory recently… and even thieves and monsters are rampaging… that’s embarrassing.”
“Why don’t you ask for support from the Sucheron family?”
“It’s been a long time since the royal family actually abandoned this estate. As you can see, the land has no great value…”
As soon as I heard it, I was convinced. As the head of the Volta family said, the territory seemed really worthless.
“Still, I think I will be able to be self-sufficient because the winter cultivation items are being properly harvested this year… No, what am I talking about now. I’m sorry, Sir Gene Runcandel. I couldn’t afford to send an envoy, so I couldn’t visit you.”
As the Volta Family was about to kneel down out of nowhere, Jin grabbed his shoulder.
In fact, Jin wanted to hug him tightly and give him a bag of money. It was because he was certain that Voltarga had not yet been seen by anyone in the Garden of Swords.
If anyone had known of the existence of Vienna Blanche, it would be impossible for them to live like this.
Therefore, the Volta family lord did its job well enough. At least from Jin’s point of view, that was the case.
“I didn’t come here to ask for that. I’m here to see a friend named Vin Blanche. I heard that he serves as Volta’s butler.”
Volta’s eyes widened.
“bean? What are you looking for that friend for?”
“Do you need to know?”
The head of the Volta household and the gatekeepers shook their heads very quickly at Jin’s calm voice.
“no! Jin Kyung Just empty. our butler.”
The eyes of the head of the Volta family instantly turn red.
“I was captured by bandits three days ago. It would have been better if I had been taken away while sweeping the snow piled up on the road ahead…” It was very
sad to see the Volta Family Crying, but there was no time to comfort him.
“I’ll bring it right away, so please pray that Vin Blanche is safe.”
It will probably be all right. If the change in history due to Jin’s return had not spread to this extreme village.
“ancient?”
“direction.”
“It’s north of that department. The bandits headed north.”
“Let’s go Shuri!”
[Mya!]
Suddenly, Shuri shot up a cloud of snow and rushed forward. For a while, the people in Volta just stared at her back.
After driving for three hours to the north, I saw the den of thieves.
“what!”
“Who are you!”
As Jin pulled back the sloppy curtain he had set up in front of the natural cave and entered, the thieves who had been drinking sprang up and screamed.
Undoubtedly, it was a pyramid among pyramids that I had never met even during my preparatory jockey days.
Not all cities in the world are big cities, and not all are outstanding.
Jin grew up in the midst of monster superhumans, but there were people in the world who had trouble with such insignificant thieves.
“Raise your hand for empty branches.”
“Who are you!”
“It looks like a nobleman from the capital, but just go the way you came. Don’t be nasty.”
I saw a slender young man in the back raising his hand. He was an empty branche.
After that, there was nothing to stretch a sword or fist.
When a very small amount of the energy they possessed was revealed, the thieves instinctively lay flat or were busy trembling. As soon as Jin raised more energy, he passed out without missing a single one.
Bin looked around with frightened eyes and slowly approached Jin.
And the closer he gets.
Jin was feeling the strange resonance he had experienced in the Blue Bird Islands in the past. It was almost identical to the phenomenon that resonated with Sigmund’s response to Gram’s grave.
Whoa…!
However, what resonates now is not Sigmund, but his beloved sword.
It was Bradamante.
Bradamante and the blacksmith god contracted with Vienna are resonating.
“Today is a very lucky day for me and for you.”
Jin asked Bin to shake hands and said. The moment Bin held Jin’s hand, he experienced a voice he had never heard before in his head.
[Bradamante! Go ahead and take the sword that guy is holding. hurry!]
