Episode 423
Episode 123. Suddenly like this? (1)
“Hey hey. bald. do you know what huh?”
Murakan grabbed the Picon incarnated in the body of Bin Blanche and waved it.
Jin had left the imperial palace and visited Volta’s estate with Murakan Gilly.
After hearing that Captain Kingelo had the ability to handle ‘iron’ like a blacksmith’s god, Picon told him to get a piece of it.
Fortunately, after Captain Kingelo withdrew with his crew, the iron formed by his authority still remained on the battlefield.
Most of the iron was retrieved by Hi-Ran, and he commissioned magicians to study it, and also brought some Jin.
[You impatient bastard, do you know that analysis is over just by looking at it? There should be time to analyze.]
“How long does it take?”
[A week if it’s short.]
“Can’t it be sooner?”
[A week goes by so quickly. If you’re unlucky, you could end up eating for several months or even lose your income. I thought it would be easy to find out the user’s information with just a piece of iron like this.]
“Ha! Who the hell is that bastard?”
Leader of Kingelo.
After this battle, two things became clear about him. The first is that he is a demon, and the second is that he has tremendous power.
[I heard it was a 10-star knight and a demon with enough power to overwhelm you? If it’s that much of a demon, there will definitely remain demons unique to iron, so wait patiently.]
“I got it, I got it.”
[But where are you going to use the remaining iron?]
Picon pointed at the remaining iron in Jin’s hand.
“I’ll hand it over to Arya Heister.”
[That record wizard. It’s a good idea, maybe the wizard can provide more information than I can.]
Valeria was currently having the busiest day among Jin’s colleagues.
She is in the process of tracking down the missing Hester’s magic and restoring the recording devices she received from Jin, and she is searching for Temar’s grave alone.
‘I wish I could see you soon, but I’ll be hectic. I have to send it enclosed in a letter. Prepare a gift to send to the emperor.’
The golden crown given by the emperor as a reward had already passed through the movement gate and arrived at the Garden of Swords.
I needed to give him an answer.
‘A demon corpse.’
Rick Helter, the 5th captain of the SS, and his men met in the Wantaramo forest.
After they chose to become demons, they thought their corpses would oxidize without a trace. Valeria’s ice seal left part of the body as evidence.
Jin planned to make it public soon.
‘From what we’ve talked about, the emperor is ready to abandon Hiran. It looked like he wanted to get rid of Hilan as soon as he retrieved the stone.’
So even though Kingelo is evasive and Jiple secretly presses Hiran, the imperial family does not step in and help Hiran.
‘Sending the dragon knight at the last minute must have been an unavoidable choice even for the sake of the authority of the imperial family. We must also find the whereabouts of the stone. In my mind, I would have expected that Highlan would perish at that time.’
The Emperor wanted a more obedient Hiran instead of the ‘presumptuous and completely uncontrolled’ Hyran of Lorne.
It is obviously a painful loss to lose Bement’s strongest warrior named Lon Hi-Lan and his grandson Dante, who is pointed out as the next strongest.
‘But since the number of Mine was created, it’s not an irreplaceable force. The emperor judged that the fact that Sir Ron and Dante could threaten the imperial family was a bigger problem.’
– Body transformation? Is it like a living golem?
-Similar, but slightly different. The old dark mages called this magical transformation. It’s not a perfect magic circle.
– It seems to me as well. It is slow to activate, and at a glance it looks unnecessarily complicated and crude.
Conversation with Valeria in Wantaramo Forest about Mine According to her, Bement’s Mine is not yet complete.
Even so, the emperor thought that he could make up for the loss of Ron and Dante with Mine.
‘Anyway, it can present an irreversible image loss to the imperial family, just like when Ziple’s living golem problem broke out.’
After the terror, it seems that the imperial family is helping Kingelo, not Hiran.
However, the people were not all fools, and rumors were circulating that the imperial family was trying to ostracize Hiran even while the press was manipulated and controlled.
Hilan and Jin’s pens were constantly sending out such articles.
In the process, it was no different that the people of Bement were most angry.
A living golem and a gigantic monster that seems to follow human commands.
In particular, after the Seongguk Incident, the majority of ordinary people shuddered at the ‘living golem’.
This is thanks to Jin revealing to everyone how heinous and brutal the process of making living golems is.
“Hey kid. What do you think?”
“The idea that the public can’t differentiate between a demon and a living golem.”
“ok? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“I’m going to publish an article saying that the demon corpse I got from the Wantaramo Forest is not Kingelo’s, but the living golem of the imperial family.”
“Is it okay, Bocchan?”
“It’s fabricated information, but the imperial family could cut Hiran faster than I thought, so we have to stop it. The biological golem controversy is fatal, so while we cover it up and explain it, we can’t properly touch Hylan.”
The moment the article and evidence of the ‘Imperial Living Golem’ began to circulate, the Imperial Family would pay the price for secretly defending Kingelo.
Also, he had no choice but to clearly draw a line with Kingelo. If he continues to show an ambiguous attitude, the biological golem that attacked Hiran in the first place could be falsely accused of being ‘owned by the imperial family’.
If that happens, the imperial family will join forces with terrorist forces for no justification to purge the best family in Bement, but it will look like a failure.
“I heard that it is. Didn’t the emperor say he didn’t know you had a demon corpse?”
“Yeah, I don’t know. That’s why I acted so confidently. If he had known, he would have had no choice but to offer me a low-key deal. I would not have received it. Dino must be busy for the time being.”
Jin recalled the emperor’s face and smiled. I was curious about what kind of expression he would make when the article about the demon corpse hit all over Bement.
“It’s because I met the wrong era. If Ron Highland had been born when your father wasn’t there, even if you got the title of the strongest, you wouldn’t have been lacking. Compared to Shiron Runkandel, there is no such thing as bad treatment.”
Murakan shrugged.
“Anyway, Mr. Picon. We’ll just go. As soon as the analysis is over and any clues come out, please contact me.”
[I got it.]
* * *
As soon as they arrived at the city of Calon through the movement gateway, the party had no choice but to open their eyes wide at the unexpected welcome and cheers.
“Wow!”
“Hero of the Hairan Crisis!”
“A jockey who has been recognized by the Sword Emperor!”
“The Great Black Dragon!”
Residents who seemed to reach 10,000 units welcomed the party. They had all been lodging near the transit gate for several days, waiting for Jin to arrive.
Jin continued to stay in Geomwangseong until just before, and he did not feel it because he had stopped by the imperial palace and returned straight away.
The outside world was already praising Jin as the hero of the Black Emperor’s terror. The insolence Jin and Murakan showed that day is being spread all over the continent, including Hufester.
Of course, there were many other martial artists who performed great on that day, but it was only natural that Jin and Murakan stood out.
Murakan protected the Geomhwangseong by completely dyeing the sky around the area, and Jin fought alongside Geomhwang at the forefront.
Among the people in the world, there was even a story that if Jin and Murakan hadn’t been there, the Imperial Palace would have come to an end that day.
“Black Dragon, please take a look here!”
Of course, normally, he would not have dared to cause such a commotion in downtown Calon.
As the movement gateway is a space used especially for missions, it was common to always keep it tidy.
It is impossible for people to gather to welcome the rumored 12 Horseman, much less blind.
Nevertheless, it was the result of the supporters of ‘10%’ after the California Declaration that residents were able to gather and welcome the 12th rider noisily.
“What are those things?”
His tone was blunt, but the voices of the humans praising him were not too bad.
“They seem to support the young master.”
“Strawberry Pie, is it really necessary to go so far as to help the Imperial Palace?”
“Anyway, since the young master played an active role in the presence of Sir Lorne… There are many people who expect this incident to form an alliance between Runkandel and Hiran.”
The alliance between Runkandel and Hyran was a topic often mentioned among the world.
For now, Zipple is ahead of Runkandel, but if Hiran is incorporated into Hufester, how much the gap will be narrowed is everyone’s expectation.
Of course, it was a story with little realism, but seeing how the royal family recently kept Hyran in check and Jin’s performance, it was something you wouldn’t have known.
“It seems to me that more people have come to see you than me, Murakan.”
“I feel the same way.”
“Why me?”
“Because you have been the guardian deity of Runkandel for the past thousand years and have shown quite great dignity in Hiran. Don’t keep such an awkward expression on your face and smile a little.”
“Why should I?”
The answer was that, but Murakan waved and laughed, contrary to his words, and more fierce cheers erupted from the residents.
Then, a man wearing monocles approached the party with the Guardian Knights.
It was Petro, the first-class butler.
“Are you here, young master!”
“I don’t think it’s been a long time since you greeted me so calmly.”
As he said, whenever Jin came, Petro looked for him in a hurry most of the time. Most of Jin visited the Garden of Swords after having an accident or ruining his family, and there were always people who tried to eat him.
This time, Jin had an accident and came back. Even though the situation was the situation, it was an overly great help to Hilan. He also stopped a monster who was presumed to be the Black Knight.
“Do you think there are no family members waiting for me while sharpening knives this time?”
“It’s not like that, but the cases of recklessly showing hostility to the young master have decreased a lot.”
“That’s a nice story to hear.”
“instead. A guest came a little while ago, young master.”
“Who are you?”
“Ghost Captain Rata Froch. He came to the Garden of Swords without warning, saying he had to meet the young master. With a bunch of fearless armed mercenaries…”
said Petro with a sigh.
