Chapter 313,
Chapter 95. People who are looking for her (3)
What a hysteria! I never thought I would hear the name again in a place like this at this time.
‘Is Joshua’s achievement related to the Hester family?’
My heart was beating fast.
There was only one Hester alive today, Valeria.
“Never heard of it.”
Jin, who managed to manage his expression, said in a calm voice.
“This is the only family that has threatened Zipple with magic in the past. Still, the reason you haven’t heard of them is because they were exterminated by Ziffle and erased from history. Now, there are almost no related historical materials left.”
“Ah, listening to what Uncle said… I think I heard that name at least once when I was a reserve jockey. It is understandable why there are few related materials left. Zipple would have eliminated them all.”
“Yes. It seems that Zipple cares about them quite a bit. After all, a bounty is still placed on a family that has been extinct for hundreds of years.”
“Are there any survivors?”
“There is only one person left. The fact that Zipple is looking for him is something that we, Runcandel, have already figured out years ago. That’s why the family has been searching for Hester’s whereabouts in utmost secrecy.”
It was the first time I had heard that Runcandel was looking for Valeria.
In his previous life, Jin, let alone become a rider, was treated as trash by his family, so he could not know this information.
‘Even Master never told me about being pursued by Runcandel. Did you not realize it? no it can’t be I guess I didn’t say it so I wouldn’t feel unnecessary pressure.’
In their previous life, Jin and Valeria hardly talked about ‘Runcandel’. It was because the name Runkandel itself was the biggest scar and failure of life to Jin in the previous life.
“Then, the ball that the second horseman made was the capture of him?”
Although remote, the possibility that Valeria was captured could not be completely ruled out. It could be that she was captured and then released before returning. or ran away
“No, it is not.”
Jin rubbed his chest inwardly.
Jed paused for a moment and looked around. It was intended to emphasize that there could be no eavesdropping ears on the training ground, but that it was such secret information.
“…we couldn’t capture it, but it seems we’ve found out the name he’s currently using.”
“We didn’t figure out the whereabouts or secure the new recruits, just by finding out the names. You mean your mother went to offer Keliac a deal herself.”
“Isn’t that why I told you to keep quiet?”
“Amazing. To think that one descendant of a ruined family could have such a ripple effect… It just feels like Ziffle is afraid of the Heister family.”
-I don’t know what Heister’s intentions were in looking at history. However, what I noticed about them was the fact that Zipple couldn’t help their record magic by distorting history.
Suddenly, Misha’s words came to mind.
A magic that can leave a record that will never be distorted. Ziple was actually afraid of the magic coming out into the world again.
“Anyway, did you have to do this?”
“Uncle, by any chance.”
“What else?”
“Do you know his name? And what is the mother trying to get through the negotiations…” “
I didn’t think so, but where the hell did you sell that shame? I’m too greedy. Or you’re looking at this uncle with water.”
“sorry. However, I thought that the value of your face was more expensive than such information.”
“It seems that you have formed a relationship with the flatterers outside. They cannot tell.”
“Honestly, don’t you care about me? If you tell me, you won’t regret it.”
“It seems like you got along well with the gangsters with iron plates on their faces… Didn’t I tell you earlier? I mean, I don’t know exactly what ball Joshua made. I don’t know his pseudonym. The same goes for what the acting head of household wants.”
“It’s a sad story.”
Actually, there was nothing to regret.
‘Just that the family is interested in the teacher is a huge harvest.’
I got valuable information that I hadn’t even thought of, virtually for free.
It would have been icing on the cake if he had figured out Rosa’s purpose, but it was a problem that he could gradually dig up.
“Sorry? Such a goon guy. Now let’s talk about the final battle one more time. You’re going to have a lot of fun.”
“Of course, sir. thank you.”
Jin bowed his head.
Jed clicked his tongue at that sly attitude.
It wasn’t really unpleasant. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time.
Of course, if he was full of opportunities, he would have issued an order to fire immediately, but in Jed’s eyes, Jin was just taking care of his own interests.
Ugh, Zed’s sword shone with an aura.
“If you’re grateful, then prove to the elders that you’ve discovered the clue to progress in the family’s decisive battle.”
Then, Jed began to fight.
An improved version of the 4th decisive battle of Runkandel.
Jin focused on examining his uncle’s sword. Everything was the same as when I first saw it, even the aura that wrapped around the sword was deliberately divided and endangered, and then formed into petals.
It was the same that the petals of the aura fluttered everywhere in an unreadable trajectory.
However, the moment the blade fell to the bell was recovered.
Wow…!
Suddenly, a column of aura rose from the spot where the fallen flowers had spread.
The petals gathered in the column and spread again, just like a huge tree made of auras blowing in the wind.
“As the name suggests, the Myungwangsword Season Falls you showed poured brain energy into the place where the sword passed. Conversely, falling is a form of rising. I thought about the most efficient expression using aura instead of brain power.”
Even at a glance, I felt a big difference from the existing Nakhwa.
“How do you feel?”
“When I first saw Nakhwa, I thought it was a sword inferior to the waterfall. But now it appears to be an equal sword. If Waterfall is suitable for one-on-one, I think the improved Nakhwa will be easier to deal with many.”
Ssik Jed smiled with the momentum that his mouth would go from ear to ear.
“You see clearly. The reason why the existing Nakhwa was inferior to the waterfall was that the two swords were in fact the same technique. On the contrary, Nakhwa was only a result of excluding brain energy from the waterfall, so its power was inevitably reduced.”
Only a month or so had passed since I showed Zed the waterfall.
Zed studied the sword he had seen only once in that short period of time and advanced the final battle.
‘It would be fair to say that it was not progress, but completion.’
Jin swallowed admiration and opened his mouth.
“You have suffered a lot. But uncle.”
“Speak.”
“Are you really going to put my name on the improved Nakhwa? I’ve thought about it many times, but this is your uncle’s achievement, not mine.”
“I have already said that I will put your name on Nakhwa. There is no reversal.”
“but.”
“As you say, the Council of Elders doesn’t take you well. And you think that even if you don’t put your name on Nakhwa, you can eventually overturn the reputation of the Senate in some way. You guys have always been like that.”
“Then why do you insist on handing over your achievements to me? Is it because I already told the Senate that you had my help?”
Then Jed shook his head.
“Can it be? But it’s not that you’re very pretty, it’s because I think there’s nothing wrong with erasing one debt. Well, you recently did a great job for the family.”
The ‘big thing’ that Jed said was killing Barton Vichena.
“So when Uncle Lee feels like giving a push, take care of yourself. Just like I said before. If you go against it, I will be the first to take the knife.”
“All right.”
“And another change of mind.”
“What are you thinking?”
“You’d better delay showing the elders the proof of the decisive battle. After completing the improvement of the 6th decisive battle electric light. Show me another season of Myeongwangsword that Dipus went through.”
“I will show you. Instead, your uncle should also know this.”
“What is it?”
“If I were also an elder other than my uncle, or a different family. It would have prevented me from recklessly upgrading my final moves. Also, if you succeed in improving the 6th decisive battle electric light, please put your uncle’s name in it.”
“I don’t like it. I’m going to put your name on that too, so hurry up and open it.”
The two did not leave the training ground until night and engaged in a decisive battle with the Myungwang sword.
Every time Jin showed a new Myungwangsword, Jed thought of refining his decisive battles based on it (thinking that the Senate would cling to Jin and himself in the future), and a smile did not leave his lips.

After!
Joshua sighed and sat down in his chair. When I lit a cigarette, my tired face brightened.
A woman approached him.
“How was Joshua?”
She was Joshua’s wife.
“…Keliac Zipple didn’t agree to his mother’s trade offer.”
Negotiations between Rosa and Kelliac broke down.
But the mere words that came out of Rosa’s lips, ‘I found out Heister’s name’, were enough for Kelliac to profit.
“The Acting Governor and we both expected it to some extent. Don’t be too discouraged.”
“A name alone is not enough. Hester must be captured so that Mother can properly put pressure on Kelliac.”
The woman smiled as she gently wrapped her arms around Joshua’s neck.
“Anyway… now that I know the name, it’s only a matter of time before we catch her. He has a knack for hiding like a dirty rat, so it will take quite a while, but in the end we’ll get it before the ziple.”
Ziple doesn’t know the name ‘Arya Owlheart’ yet.
Therefore, it was highly likely that Runcandel would find Valeria first.
“By that time, Kelliac will have to vomit more than he has suggested this time. So don’t be impatient, Joshua…”

Last day of March 1799.
The scorching sun was beating down on the city that was full of villains like bugs.
A city of outlaws at the bottom of a barren land where not a single weed grows.
Mamit.
‘It reminds me of the past.’
The first time I visited this place in my current life was when I was in the 15th intermediate class.
In the meantime, Jin has achieved an indescribably brilliant growth, but Mamit is the same scenery as back then.
Residents of the city still recounted terrible crimes like a saga, and along with filth, things like the head of a finger and a head that someone spilled were rolling casually in the streets.
Just like four years ago, Mamit’s criminals were feeling a fresh shock when they saw Jin who had just entered the city.
But if there is one thing that has changed since then.
‘This is Jin Runkandel…
‘
‘You assholes! don’t make eye contact If you’re stubborn, you’re going to be a bitch.’
It was an attitude.
Fear was buried in the eyes of the mamit criminals who were conscious of Jin.
“Mesa.”
“yes! Lord.”
“Go to the Inn Moonlight Well and tell the kings of Mamit. Until I arrive, everyone, without exception, come forward and kneel.”
