Episode 91. Power and reverence for power (2)
“The shell god holds the key to Temar’s second tomb? No wonder. Me and Misha, who are guardian dragons, don’t know anything. You mustachioed bastard, but what were you thinking, Solderlet, entrusting that precious thing to such a mistress?”
Murakan seemed quite disappointed with that fact.
[That’s it, I don’t know. I was just relaying the story I heard from Solderlet.]
“Do you know where that man is?”
[I don’t know.]
“Looking for it again will be crazy.”
Murakan speaks annoyedly.
However, as soon as Jin heard the name All Mango, he was delighted inside. It was because he was a person who did not have to try hard to find where he was.
“The new contractor for Murakan Clam is in the Kingdom of Shucheron. I found out when I checked the function of the compass.”
– That’s strange. It seemed that there was a function to search for a contractor. After a red dot appeared on the side of the Shucheron Kingdom three days ago, there was a small article this morning saying that a person who made a contract with the Shell God appeared in the Shucheron Kingdom…. -The
Shell God? Was it called Olmango or Olungo? So, you mean even those miscellaneous scenes are marked with a red dot? That friend is so incompetent that it’s hard to even say he’s a god.
A conversation with Tikan’s colleagues right after the compass capture.
There was a good chance that the clam’s new contractor was still staying in the Shucheron Kingdom.
“oh! Yes, I remember.”
“Murakan.”
“uh.”
“I will go back to my hometown first, so you go to Tikan and ask Sir Casimir to send someone to Shucheron to secure the exact address of the contractor in Olmango.”
“Right now?”
“You can talk to Mr. Picon and then go slowly. After all, we only need to figure it out until the mission to kill the black knight is over.”
“I get it. hey mustache anyway you are He said he used his ability to handle iron, but he said he made a sword. Is that an authority originally possessed by the blacksmith god?”
[Then, since he’s a god, he’s asking something obvious.]
“It’s because I have a problem that bothers me. You know Kinzelo, right? A strange bastard called the leader there also wielded the power to handle iron…”
Then, when Murakan explained the conversation he had with Kingelo and his external powers, Picon shrugged.
[This is a strange thing. It’s a power that can’t be used unless it’s a blacksmith god, but hmm… Is it a full-time Growler? No, Growler is dead, and the power has clearly been transferred to me. Next time you meet him, get some of the iron he used.]
“Looking at that, don’t you know something?”
[Take a look. At least about iron, this Picon Minche can find out quite a bit. There might be some clues, right?]

It was night when I returned to the Garden of Swords. On March 4, 1799, there were four days left until the start of the mission.
Barton Bichena did not wait in the Garden of Swords. He was supposed to stay at his villa and join them straight away at the mission, Ventica.
“If I had a chance, I wanted to talk to him once before starting the mission.”
“Are you talking about the Barton Bicena to be eliminated? young master.”
“huh. Haven’t you seen Gilly?”
“yes. I’ve never even heard rumors about what it was like as a soldier. Perhaps Barton Bichena is a pseudonym and may have used a different name in his heyday.”
“Gillie is right.”
In his room, Jin was perusing the document about ‘Barton Vichena’ given by Rosa.
“My name is Ligaf Cleaver. Clever is the older brother of Sir Lanz Clever, the strongest warrior.”
“Oh my God, it was Sir Rigaf?”
Gilly had met him before.
“Before I became your nanny, I participated in a martial arts competition hosted by 25 unmanned families in Hufester. It was a competition that only unmanned people under the age of 20 could participate. At that time, Lord Ligaf judged, and I won and received a plaque from him.”
It was already over ten years ago.
“How was it then?”
“Now, Cleaver is known as Sir Lanz Cleaver as the best soldier, but at the time, Sir Ligaf was overwhelming. He gave me a definitive kick, but he passed away suddenly about three months after I won. He said he suffered from a fever of unknown origin…”
Gilly knew that.
She even participated in Rigaf’s funeral as McLauran’s jockey.
But in fact, Ligaf was already scheduled to receive new training as the Dark Knight of Runcandel.
Because of this, instead of becoming the family head of the Clever family, after being ‘deathed’, he wore the black helmet of Runcandel.
“Even according to the documents, the Clever family doesn’t know about this. They also only know that Ligaf Cleaver is really dead.”
Of course, not all of Clever at the time were unaware of the fact that Legaf Clever was recruited as a black knight.
How many people did you know? However, they were not currently living people.
Cleaver, who noticed that Ligaf had been appointed as a black knight, had a heartless sentence written next to the people’s names, ‘killed for security’.
In other words, at present, no one in the Kleber family knows that Barton Vichena is Ligaf Kleber.
Jin touched his forehead.
“It wasn’t enough to steal the next family head of the alliance, so I killed everyone who recognized the fact…”
Even now, the Clever family was showing infinite loyalty towards Runcandel without knowing anything.
A bitter taste rose up his throat.
“I think you know how Regaf Cleaver felt when he betrayed Runcandel. For him, since all of Cleaver was held hostage, he must have had no choice but to become the Black Knight.”
“I didn’t know that the family hired the black knight in this way.”
For a while, Jin’s eyes were on the bottom of the last page of the document.
It was signed by his father, Shiron Runkandel.
Naturally, Shiron, as the family head, would have personally instructed this mission. Even if it wasn’t a direct instruction, there was no way he wouldn’t have recognized it.
“I don’t understand. It would be disappointing if this were true.”
“Are you saying you’re disappointed in the family?”
“No, not to my family, but to my father. The family name can do that enough. A family is a place where you can do worse than this.”
Jin covered the document and continued to talk behind his back.
“Your father is obviously a heartless man. But he’s not mean, at least that’s how I feel. Also, he’s not weak enough to manipulate people with threats. But why? I don’t understand why I had to get Barton Bichena this way.”
Gilly agreed with that opinion, but he only lowered his head because he did not dare to comment on the householder.
Jin’s eyes were shining in the light.
“…Barton Vichena. If you meet him, you will know something. gillie.”
“Tell me.”
“I will go to the Holy Land tomorrow and receive treatment until the mission begins.”
Gilly let out a deep sigh.
“Since Murakan-nim went with me, I wondered if there would be a big problem, but to come with such deep internal wounds… I feel upset because the mission is just around the corner, and you seem to be in a state of disarray both physically and mentally.”
“Don’t be too upset. It’s a mission with Deepus-hyung anyway, so there’s a high chance that I’ll succeed even if I don’t show my full potential.”
The mission to kill the black knight was definitely a mission worthy of being called a major mission.
“Mother would have assigned someone who could complete the mission without me in the first place. Since this is an important mission, you must have chosen the most obvious hand. That is Difus-hyung.”
True to Jin’s words, Rosa wasn’t just putting Jin on this mission to drive Jin into a corner.
It was put in to examine Diffus. How the second son will treat the youngest.
Although Difus was still in the 9th star, he was a Runcandel, so he was a person who could cause a surprise even against a 10th star knight.
In particular, if it was a situation where death had to be induced during the battle with Ziple, it was rather easy for Difus to deal with Barton.
The midnight sun does not know that Barton is Jiple’s spy, and Barton does not know that he has been discovered.
“No matter what, it’s about dealing with the black knight.”
“You met and fought a teenage knight from when Runkandel was at its strongest, but came back intact, right? Don’t worry, while I’m gone, Murakan and I are having a good time.”
“Is Murakan not participating in this mission?”
“Yeah, you can’t take the guardian dragon with you from the first mission. Then I have no idea how much the family elders will point fingers at me. Maybe even the cadets will think of me as a coward.”
“Whoa. Well, they don’t know what kind of person you are. Although I said it as if I was worried, as always. I have no doubt that the young master will prove it in the end.”
Jin smiled.
“Oh, I see. Gilly, I will go on vacation after this mission is over.”
“yes? Are you on vacation? All of a sudden, what… As soon as you return, the boy is fighting every day, so why are you telling me to leave your side?”
It’s not because Murakan seems to be looking forward to the date.
I couldn’t bear to say that.
“Just go. There will be a lot of hectic things ahead, so cool your head in advance. Isn’t it customary for nannies to take vacation right after becoming a jockey?”
Gilly was about to say no once more, but Jin shook his head first.
“I think it’s important to have time for Gillie alone. Sometimes I go out and spend a lot of money and enjoy my free time without thinking.”
“…All right.”
Gilly gave up all of his youth for Jin.
Not only that, but I was ready to give up the rest of my life.
She always refers to it as ‘completely her own choice’ and sincerely considers it that way. As Jin, I always felt a deep sense of debt.
She just doesn’t show it because she doesn’t want to.
“Thank you always.”
“Me too, young master.”
* * *
Secretly entered the Holy Kingdom. It was because if the family knew about the treatment, it would only expose their weaknesses.
Rani and her loyalists treated Jin with all their heart for two days. For 48 hours, at least two saints always stood by Jin’s side, and Jin had never received such luxurious treatment since birth.
Thanks to their efforts, when they returned to the Garden of Swords. Jin was able to recover his condition to the point where it was close to perfect.
‘It’s impossible to open the king’s sword, but this is enough.’
In the first place, the Myeongwang Reign Sword was a technique that Rosa did not know.
Therefore, it means that it is not included in the factors to succeed the mission.
Jin’s power that Rosa recognized was the second half of the 8 stars.
Difus and 10 Guardian Knights were standing in front of the movement gateway dedicated to the rider mission. The guardian knights were all faces that Jin didn’t know.
After this mission, about half of them will be promoted to Executive Knights.
“Here you are, the 12th rider.”
Difus said. He was rubbing his great sword ‘Bolgar’ with a cloth without paying attention to Jin.
“Yes 4 horsemen.”
If I get in the way, I will kill you
.
In other words, as Jin said a few days ago, he did not lower Runkandel’s dignity for nothing. On the one hand, he acknowledged Jin, and on the other hand, it was for Mary.
scary guy.
Difus had been recognizing Jin that way since that day.
So I was troubled.
If the opportunity comes in this mission, would it be better to kill Jin?
Or would it be better to let Rosa and Joshua stay alive? It was not an easy decision to make.
“…leave.”
Difus said as he burned the cloth with his aura. Ashes flew.
