Chapter 384,
Chapter 117. Who is the real Runkandel
?
For a while, Murakan blinked as if doubting his ears. His face was dumbfounded, but soon his eyes twinkled and he showed an evil smile.
“Ha ha ha! You’re going to make a declaration that you’re going back to the magic swordsman’s family? Is that true!”
A voice full of excitement, like a child who received an unexpected gift.
“So you’re kidding?”
“Did you find some answers in his fourth tomb? One that can remove the curse from Ziffle and their gods.”
The curse of Runcandel’s humiliation from Ziple a thousand years ago.
Never use magic again.
Also, don’t worship your ancestors who used magic.
The reason why Runkandel, which was the only magic swordsman family, fell into an ordinary knight family. As a result of the curse, all Runcandels after Temar were born with bodies unable to use magic.
“No, that’s not it.”
“then?”
“Looking back at Temar’s tomb, I just made up my mind. At this rate, Runkandel has no future.”
In the solderlet recording device left in each grave, Jin glimpsed the grandeur of the old Runkandel.
As a legitimate person who inherited their will, he confirmed secret affairs and personally experienced the inaction of great magic swordsmen.
The old Runcandel was definitely a shining family beyond words.
nevertheless.
Even the brilliant Runcandel of those days fell on its knees before the power of Ziffle.
Even the great magicians had no choice in front of that dark and enormous power that manipulated reality and history at will.
All I can do is leave a small spark for the future.
“Their ability to manipulate history is nothing compared to your era. Just as we are reviving the old Runkandel history, Ziple will be running to regain the power of those days.”
Zipline at that time was not without any damage. Ziple also suffered enormous damage by defeating the old Runcandel.
If the war had ended without any damage, it would have been impossible for Runkandel to even exist.
A thousand years have already passed, but Runkandel and Zipple. I couldn’t get my old strength back.
“I guess so. Just looking back at trying to recreate the source stone, they are determined to completely dominate the world.”
“I think, as it stands now, there’s a good chance that Zipple will regain his old powers sooner. So, from now on, I need to move in earnest.”
So far it hasn’t.
Since returning, Jin has been hiding power in his family for most of the time.
It wasn’t until the end of the reserve rider that he revealed to the world that he was a magic swordsman, and even after wearing the rider’s uniform, he did not fully reveal his skills in front of the family members.
It can’t be because hiding power is fun. There’s no way I wouldn’t have been frustrated.
Just because there was a need for it. That is until he is convinced that he can withstand the pressure of his family when his strength is revealed.
Jin decided that now was the right time.
-You’re the youngest.
-Yes Father.
-It is a great loss to Runcandel to appoint you as a standard bearer. We’ll see if you’re worth the damage.
-All right.
– I don’t have much time left. The appointment ceremony will begin in an hour, so stay here until then and come out.
I remembered the conversation I had with Chiron on the day I became a jockey.
The shortness of time for poetry meant only one thing.
That the world’s strongest knight doesn’t have much time to protect Runkandel.
‘As long as the father is present, Ziple will not play Runcandel.’
Jin came to that conclusion a while ago.
It is a fact that everyone in the world knows that the reason why Zipple avoids an all-out war with Runkandel is because of Chiron, even though it has a clear superiority in power.
However, the general opinion was that if there was an opportunity that could not back down, the two forces would eventually have a big fight.
However, Jin’s conclusion was that there would be no all-out war even if there was sufficient opportunity and justification between the two forces. As long as the theory exists, never.
‘I already broke the oath between Runkandel and Zipple a long time ago.’
Is that all?
In addition to the pure-blooded Jeeps, Andrei and Carl Muron, he also defeated several of the Wraiths, the best fighters in the Jeep. Externally, there was also a history of destroying the ship Ko-Jek twice, which symbolizes the power of Zipple.
In particular, during the Seongguk incident, Jin alone, who was a reserve jockey, made fun of Zipple by dropping its prestige to the bottom, and recently, he was scratching the inside of Zipple with his cosmetics business.
Each time, they left no trace or made justifications to prevent the problem from growing, but it was no wonder that it spread to an all-out war one by one.
‘Even so, Ziple is not hitting Runcandel. Even though I raise up all the men and my father is in the Black Sea.’
It’s also because the theory is heavy.
It must be because Ziple also recognizes that Shiron doesn’t have much time left, Jin thought so.
‘They’ll think it’s their victory if they just wait…’
I don’t have much time left.
Jin now seemed to understand why Shiron left those words to him.
“Now, even if I declare that I will return Runcandel to the Magic Swordsman family, no one in the Garden of Swords will be able to punish me carelessly. Because my presence has grown so much.”
“Hey, my little boy. Saying all those embarrassing things with a serious face. Do you see if you have one? uh?”
Pisik Jin and Murakan laughed at the same time.
“Instead of punishing me, factions will split. Progressives who insist on returning to the magic swordsman family, and conservatives who insist on maintaining the existing legitimacy.”
“You and Joshua will each play a role.”
“It will be like that.”
“Wouldn’t your mother be in the way?”
“Mother probably won’t be a big deal. It’s burdensome to get rid of me now, and more than anything. Since I’ve been talking about Temar’s tomb myself, there’s so much I need to figure out. There are many things to do.”
“Anyway, he is an annoying human being. Anyway, tell me what you learned about the fourth tomb. I thought I was dying of curiosity while waiting for you.”
“In the fourth tomb…”
Jin explained to Murakan what happened in Wantaramo Forest for a while. Murakan listens with his eyes wide open.
“…Huh, that Hester’s child was a descendant of a fairy? Besides, the fairies of Wantaramo Forest were cursed by Heluram?”
“okay.”
“Damn, I hardly remember anything about fairies back then. I don’t know now whether it’s because of the goddamn manipulation of history or because I had a long sleepover.”
Murakan touched his forehead in frustration. Every time he faced the fact that his memories were incomplete, he felt dizzy with a deep sense of emptiness.
Whatever the reason, it was a phenomenon stemming from a sense of shame that he had forgotten his comrades and a sense of helplessness that he had survived alone.
“You can go there gradually, Murakan. Don’t beat yourself up.”
At Jin’s words, Murakan smiled faintly.
“Yes kid. With you, we’ll get it all back in the end. And that Valeria.”
“huh.”
“I have a feeling that maybe he’s also one of Solderlet’s arrangements.”
“Things like that happen, too. In fact, Heister is the only player who can perfectly counter Zipple’s manipulation of history.”
“Where are you now? For once, I want to tell a story too. Wouldn’t it be possible to refresh your memory by examining mine just as you reviewed yours?”
“Valeria is going around the world looking for the fifth tomb. We have a few addresses where we can reach you, so I’ll try to set up a place soon.”
“Well, he can use record magic, so he’ll find it much better than us or our enemies. great I should expect something to come from my record when I meet the Hester kid.”
“Looks like it’s been sorted out, so I’m going to go out soon.”
Even while Jin was in the operating room, the Garden of Swords continued to maintain a state of emergency.
It was because they were worried that Murakan would go on a rampage, but they were all aware of it. When the 12th Horseman wakes up, he will never let go. That the Garden of Swords will begin to riot.
As soon as Jin leaves the room, a new meeting will begin.
“Okay let’s go. I’ll have to see how the faces of the Runkandel kids change at your declaration.”
“No, it won’t look good if I accompany you.”
“what?”
“The picture is good only when I declare it by myself and endure the aftermath that occurs right after. Shouldn’t Runkandel have to carry the guardian dragon on its back to fight Runkandel?”
“There’s no such thing as an if in this world, kid. What if, after hearing your declaration, the 2nd rider, those who follow it, or your mother try to kill you?”
Then Jin shrugged.
“There is nothing like that. Even so, am I going to die?”
Jin was confident of escaping even in the worst situation. It would have been possible with the help of Mary and a few others who clearly liked her.
“It seems like only yesterday that we were joking about the big children’s martial arts competition. You’ve grown a lot, little boy.”
“And you have other things to do.”
“What?”
“Strawberry, no. I’ll have to get Gilly.”
As soon as Gilly’s name came out, Murakan’s eyebrows narrowed.
“I’ll tell you in advance, if there is even a small scratch on the strawberry pie. At that time, even if you stop it, I will kill those directly involved.”
“A natural story. Go out first and tell Elder Telot about the place Gilly is detained, then bring him back. I think it will be reassuring if you bring it yourself.”
When Murakan left the room, Jin took a breath.
Whoa….
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous at all. However, in the tension that tightened the chest, there was also a sense of swollen anticipation.
Clap!
After checking the flight of Murakan outside the window, I opened the door and the sunlight seemed to be coming exceptionally bright.
“young master!”
Petro approached Jin and bowed his head.
“Thanks to you, my arms are attached well. Thank you. It was also a little touching.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Are your mother and the rider elders in the central conference room?”
At that question, Petro shook his head with a heavy expression.
“He is in the arena.”
“A battleground?”
“yes. Bocchan told me to bring him as soon as he wakes up… I don’t feel good. The reason why I called the young master to the arena is very obvious.”
It means that if necessary, it will be resolved by force.
Unlike Petro, who was worried, Jin smiled as if everything went well.
“Breaking up the meeting room was a bit daunting, but it worked out better.”
“yes?”
“Bring me something simple. Something like a sandwich.”
While Petro opened his eyes wide, Jin continued to talk like this.
“You can’t swing a knife on an empty stomach, can you?”
