Chapter 106. Recorders (2)
‘Come to think of it, he had white hair unique to pure-blooded Zipple.’
A wizard from a thousand years ago.
The gray-haired woman in the pillar of ice looked so young that it was hard to believe she was a person from a thousand years ago.
‘Is it thirty? You look young.’
Her long white hair was full of luster, probably because she was frozen in the absolute cold of the full ice.
The closed eyes seemed to be just asleep, and it seemed that the shining pupils would be revealed at any moment.
The robe he was wearing had no small flaws, but it seemed to be made of tough leather.
And he had a very clear face.
A kind impression that seems not to be able to kill even a small insect, let alone harm people.
It was hard to believe that such a person was a member of the great evil that ruled the world at that time. And also how he got trapped in this pillar of ice in such a vivid state.
The woman seemed ready to move out of the ice pillar at any moment.
“Is this the old wizard of Zipple?”
“okay. A thousand years ago, the 2nd Secret Princess sealed this magician using the power of ice.”
Talaris said, touching the pillar of ice.
Jin confirmed that there were wrinkles on the back of her hand that hadn’t been seen before, but he didn’t say anything about it.
“Is that because of the oath made by the Endorma clans you just mentioned?”
“okay. you’re well aware That there is no power without a price.”
As a contractor for a thousand years, Jin knew that fact better than anyone else.
Innumerable sacrifices and responsibilities entailed for him to regain his life and have stronger power and potential than any other genius of his age.
Of course, Talaris didn’t know all the inside stories about the Thousand-Year Contractor.
However, when she saw Jin saving the red people in Colon, she thought he was a human who already understood the ‘responsibility’ at that time.
“The same is true of the power of ice that our Endorma clans have obtained. In return for gaining too much power for a human to have, I got a mission to help solve the world’s anomalies.”
It was the first time I had heard of it.
‘I’ve been thinking that the reason why the secret palace is neutral is simply because of their inclination and power. Was there such a mission?’
It was also a story that few people in the world knew about. Endorma’s new sword called ‘Full Bing’ No. The promise made with the gods was a little different from the contracts of ordinary ‘contractors’.
“What anomalies are you referring to?”
“The disaster brought by the witch Heluram is the most representative. The previous queens went through a lot of trouble to stop her. Even my mother.”
“You tell a foreigner too much, mother.”
“A foreigner, daughter. How is my son-in-law a foreigner?”
“In the world, someone has been calling Jin the son-in-law without permission…”
“Huh, most people in the world don’t know. If my mother hadn’t stopped Helluram, the world’s population would have been tens of millions or even billions less than it is today.”
Thalaris said, ignoring Siris. Siris sighed and Jin widened his eyes.
According to her words, it occurred to me that all the people in the world owed a little bit to Secret Palace.
“The battle to defend the Seongguk took place five hundred years ago. Even then, the swords of the Secret Palace infiltrated the land of the demons and killed the high-ranking demons, contributing greatly to the peace of the world.”
Ever since the 1st great queen was chosen by Manbing, the secret wife has made an indescribable contribution to the peace and prosperity of the world over the past thousand years.
Talaris himself has made and is making great sacrifices to eliminate the ‘anomaly’ since his youth.
“I heard this woman was one of those anomalies.”
Jin moved his gaze back to the woman in the ice pillar.
“That’s what I felt while dating many lovers. You can’t tell a person just by looking at them. There were times when a guy who looked like chaff was an incredible tough guy, and vice versa. Doesn’t this woman look like she can’t kill an ant just by looking at her from the outside?”
“It seems that way.”
“Detailed records have been lost due to foreign invasions, but the records remaining in the Secret Palace library show that this woman was a demon equivalent to Heluram.”
Suddenly, the name of a woman he identified on the recorder in the third tomb came to Jin’s mind.
– How are you? Sarah Did you destroy all the towers of the enemies?
– No, it couldn’t be. Would you believe if there was another magician like Elona? Silder Ray. It was so terrible that I hit about 50 of them and then gave up and came back.
-What am I really…!?
-You’re fooling me again, Silder Ray. ha ha! Be deceived. I can’t stop playing around because I’m so easily fooled every time.
-what? lie? also?
-okay. Is there any other crazy monster like that in the world? Anyway, because it’s stupid, it has a cute taste.
Elona Zipple.
Even the teenage knights of Runkandel at that time shuddered at the expression of crazy monsters, and even the joke that there is another wizard similar to it was a name that made Silderray shrink at once.
“My name is Elona Ziple, but I have never been a family head. No information is known other than the name. She is a strangely unrecorded woman. However, according to the clues left by the 2nd Secret Princess in Manbing…”
It is said that he was a wizard who erased the entire continent.
Talaris went on to pour the power of ice into the pillar of ice.
Then, the pillars lit up and several ‘screens’ appeared in various places.
‘A recording device? video!?’
Jin looks at the pillar in shock.
Unlike the recording device left behind by Solderlet, what emerged from the pillar of ice was not a video, but a still screen like a painting.
In those screens, there was a scene of Elona Ziple fighting at the time or the battlefield she swept through.
Even though it was only a still screen, not a video, Jin had to feel overwhelmed by Elona’s appearance for a moment.
Elona stretched out her cane, the collapsed mountain range, and tens of thousands of people gathered to oppose her… In the
next moment, no one was alive, only countless drops of blood constituting a river of bones and flesh. Elona didn’t hurt a single collar.
“Perhaps it would have been impossible for even the second-generation queen to kill this woman. So it looks like they managed to seal it with full ice.”
“So, is this Elona Ziple still alive?”
“Although some records have been lost, I heard that there was no record of killing this woman from the beginning. This woman’s time is just frozen.”
In an instant, the back of the bone became cold and goose bumps appeared on the lower back.
‘Such a monstrous human… is it possible that he is still alive after being sealed?’
You won’t be able to kill him even now.
If it was possible, there was no way that the previous generations of non-gungju, including Talaris, would have left Elona alone.
And there was one part that was hard to understand.
‘Why are there so few records of a wizard like this? Even the record remains only in the Secret Palace. There is a high probability that it will not even have a name in other history books.’
According to the expressions of the teenage knights in the recording device, according to the traces left by the 2nd Secret Master while sealing Elona.
Elona Ziple was undoubtedly the strongest wizard in Zipline history. Even if it wasn’t, the name had to come out whenever the strongest was mentioned.
However, Jin had never heard of Elona’s name even when he was in the middle of exploring magic in his previous life.
People also brought up the name of Liol Ziple, not Elona, when talking about the strongest wizard in history.
In other words, she was a forgotten person.
Like Chenmi or the old Runkandel, like countless people erased by Ziffle.
‘Did Zipple delete it?’
What immediately comes to mind is, of course, Zipple’s manipulation of history.
But why?
Elona Zipple was the biggest power of Zipple at the time. As confirmed by the solderlet recording device, there were expressions such as ‘more than GA’ and ‘50% of the total power’.
‘Did we have to erase the traces of the disaster caused by Elona Ziple? Or because her powers are so strong and out of control? Seeing as how he tried to manipulate the history of Temar, I didn’t feel that way.’
Or was it an accident? Ziffel also suffered a lot of damage while defeating Runcandel at the time.
With all sorts of hypotheses flashing in his mind, Talaris spoke.
“The Secret Service has been hiding this woman from Ziffle for a thousand years.”
Talaris was literally telling Jin one of the biggest secrets of the Secret Palace.
The reason for hiding Elona’s existence from Zipple was no different.
“You’re saying that if they find out, this woman can be active again.”
“It’s a future I don’t want to imagine. If a monster like this is added to the already solo Ziffle, the balance will no longer exist.”
Certainly it was.
Even though Runcandel had the only creation knight, Shiron, it was not able to surpass Ziple. Other forces, such as Beament and Kingelo, were destined to be naturally absorbed by the victor or perish if the balance between the two collapsed.
Of course, Elona could have stopped fighting for Zipple. However, that was just a hopeful story with an infinitely low possibility.
“The reason I told you the secret of the secret palace is because you are looking for the tombs of the first head of Runcandel and peeping at the secret secrets of that time.”
Talaris thought Jin might find clues that could ‘kill’ Elona in the process.
A way to suppress the anomaly of history manipulation that Zipple is doing.
Also, Talaris was in a hurry.
Jin could read that feeling in her.
“Recently, the seal on the full ice has been weakening.”
At those words, Jin looked at the back of Thalaris’ hand again.
Wrinkles like never before. Considering her age, it is natural for her to have wrinkles, but like most warriors who have realized the extreme, she has considerably suppressed her aging.
In addition, Endorma’s blood relatives were not particularly affected by aging because of the power of ice.
The wrinkles on the backs of her hands stood out because the power of the full ice holding back Elona was gradually reaching its limit.
It has become difficult to maintain one’s body at its best.
“Then, how much time is left…”
The moment Jin said that.
Pajik…! jump!
A crack opened in the middle of the ice pillar.
