Chapter 457,
Chapter 131. People with good senses People with bad senses (1)
End of January 1800. Tikan Free City was still hectic busy moving and installing the Black King Sanchae’s equipment.
The guardian knights that Runcandel dispatched to the Black King Sanctuary were at first a factor that disturbed the pride and pride of the members of the Black Kings, but now the members also thought they were convenient.
They are holding on to the Bise Kingdom, so the dung flies can’t be seduced.
If there was no Runkandel, the Tikan’s military forces corresponding to it had to take its place. It was quite a tiring role in the international situation that was flowing turbulently due to the sudden collapse of the Black King Sanchae.
Most of all, the members were satisfied that the commander of the guardian knights stationed in Bise Kingdom had changed.
“Hmm, those guys. I thought he must have had the face of an unfortunate loser. When I arrived, everyone seems to have calmly accepted defeat. No, do you mean that you feel satisfied with something beyond that?”
Crunchy!
said Mary, biting into an apple. The man standing next to him was, of course, Dipus Runkandel.
They came here to prevent mishaps where the other riders and the elders (although they’ve recently been almost abandoned by Jin) don’t handle the ‘youngest spoils’ carefully.
just as expected.
When they first came, Joshua’s knights, who were stationed there, seemed to treat the Black King members carelessly.
The members of the Dark Kingdom endured the unpleasant attitude of the new master so that he would not get involved in a useless dispute, and they could work happily only after Meri and Dipus arrived.
The two held the discipline of the Guardian Knights. And that action didn’t just come from the heart of taking care of the youngest.
Stimulus Anxiety about what might happen to the family after someone messed up with the youngest.
Even Mary, who could be described as ‘crazy’ for fighting, thinks that the recent Runcandel needs a period of stability.
“Well, on the first day we came to serve as umbrellas, everyone was very poisonous. Not to Jin, but to those under the Second Horseman.”
Receiving the apple thrown by Mary, Difus said.
For a while, the brother and sister sat on a tree and watched the members of the Dark Kingdom at work while eating dozens of apples.
“If I had known it would be like this, I would have joined forces with the entire Dark Kingdom once more. It’s a pity, it’s a pity. i envy you! The youngest one.”
Mary was even more envious of the fact that she had settled down with the Black Dynasty rather than winning it.
“Strictly speaking, the youngest did not fight alone. This result could never have happened without Murakan.”
“It’s something else I don’t know. It has been revealed this time that Murakan’s strength is amazing, but the pen holders of the 2nd rider are strangely persistent in writing articles praising him. It’s like trying to completely exclude Jin’s inaction and activity in the Dark Kingdom incident.”
“Praise Murakan too much to make Jin’s power not stand out?”
“I think yes. The second rider, us, and everyone else in the family that day. Did you see it with your own two eyes? How amazing he was on the day he declared the head of state.”
I got goosebumps and shudders when I thought of Jin who destroyed the magical sword secret fire and the sword garden of Myeongwang’s reign sword in half.
“At that time, he showed such inaction right after his severed arms were restored. The odds of him being in peak condition are infinitely low. Maybe it was close to the worst.”
“Didn’t that go too far? If you made a fuss in the worst condition, it is already the youngest to take care of it.”
“But can’t you imagine?”
“what?”
“The image of him destroying the Black King Sanchae by himself. Unfolding that colossal sword and Myeongwangsword…”
Mary’s mouth watered as she imagined it as if she were thinking of delicious food.
Difus shook his head, but he couldn’t deny the words of his beloved brother. It’s easy to imagine.
It felt like a strange idea that a person who destroyed the Garden of Swords alone could not do anything about the Black King Sanchae.
“If it was the result of Murakan-nim fighting instead, would the Black Royals be working like that? Those are the eyes that seem to have met a master who can be deeply recognized. To the child who believes in the guardian dragon and cries out? It can’t be.”
“From what I’ve heard, it makes sense.”
“Besides, as a result of watching closely for a few days, the equipment that was in Heukwangsanchae. Important things are strangely intact. Don’t you think I’m just as lucky?”
“…You mean the youngest could have fought while controlling his powers? So that important loot is not damaged?”
“huh.”
It was a story that honestly made no sense.
But actually… oddly enough. None of the most expensive and hard-to-obtain equipment was damaged beyond recycling.
Although the siblings do not know.
That was pure luck.
Fortunately, on the day Zephyrin ran rampant, her attack missed all of the Black Kingdom’s most expensive equipment. Furthermore, even the incessant landslides did not destroy the equipment.
Just by luck!
Since that incomprehensible level of luck was excluded, Mary’s imagination was flying far away. It was to the point where even Difus felt like it was long or not.
Again, while silence flowed between the siblings, the members of the Dark Dynasty began to sing loudly, hitting the mountain range.
“anyway.”
Crushing Mary shattered the last remaining apple core with her teeth and continued to talk.
“We need to get a little stronger. Brother. My senses are telling me so.”
“what?”
“To fight the youngest guy.”
Whether you fight against or side by side.
To Difus, it sounded like Mary’s voice had such an afterword attached to it.
“It’s surprising that the guy who always wanted to be strong for no reason was thirsty.”
“A mountain that the beloved younger brother and the nemesis of nemesis must each other overcome! ah. Isn’t this really good? Exciting.”
I felt strangely sad, but Difus burst out laughing.
“When I go back, I will find out what medicine I need for a sore head and know what you mean.”
Then Mary’s eyes brightened, and Dipus went on to say something like this.
“Do whatever you want to do for the time being. Think as you like, practice as you like. I’ll take responsibility for the aftermath.”
“As expected, the only one who understands my heart is my second older brother!”
“Are we our brother only at times like this? When will you become human?”
“I won’t talk nonsense later. I hope the great Runkandel’s 4th Horseman won’t say two words with one mouth. I’m going right now, so my older brother will take care of this place. My brother will take care of my duties for the time being.”
“Oh hey. Hey Mary! hey!”
Before Dipus could catch up, Merry was already running frantically down the mountain range. Trees snapped at her speed and clouds of dust rose.
“Ha… that won’t have an accident like the old days, won’t it? Maybe you should have chosen more words.”
Suddenly, a strong feeling of uneasiness crept into Difus’ backbone.

Dox McLorran still hasn’t fully recovered.
However, when he regained his claw and reached the stage where he could move at the usual 30% level, Dox immediately left Tican Free City. Leaving only this note.
(I will not forget that you even saved the blood of Numerus to save me. I admit it, if it wasn’t for your hard work, I would not have been able to devote the rest of my life to my family in vain. Even so, as a dark knight, I cannot carry out your
orders .
I will carry out your orders as Dox McLorran. I’ll send you a letter as soon as I’m done, so you know I didn’t break my promise and run away.) Surprisingly
.
Dox made his way out of Tikan undetected by ‘anyone’.
That said, the reverse was also possible.
The reason why Joshua’s Dark Knights had not infiltrated Tikan was not because of their lack of ability, but because of Shiron’s command.
‘He’s not someone who doesn’t know grace. I didn’t know you were going to give me a present.’
Jin was not unaware that Dox secretly informed him of this fact by leaving secretly.
“Sir Barkas.”
“Tell me, lord.”
“If all the equipment is moved, how much can Tikan’s alertness level be improved from now?”
“It depends on how much the lord invests in the boundary.”
“Either manpower or money. Get everything you need to the fullest.”
“So was my heart. You saw exactly the message the Black Knight left behind as he left. Since the less-recovered dark knight escaped like this, it goes without saying if the dark knight is in perfect condition.”
Balkas decided to serve Jin as his lord, but on the other hand, it was also a role to test him at every opportunity. As the leader who had successfully led a large force for a long time before Jin. Jin really liked the choice of Valkas for the role.
“Yes sir. Now what’s next?”
The royal road that leaders can choose when their power suddenly rises is to rally forces and organize their ranks.
Valkas hoped that Jin would not give such a textbook answer.
“It’s time to organize the forces and organize the ranks.”
“It sucks.”
“But that is none of my business. Rally. No, to be precise, the members of the existing Tikan except for me will do as much as possible to arrange the atmosphere, but the ordering is up to each person. I will not intervene.”
“No intervention?”
“Isn’t fighting inevitable as we suddenly became family members? If I intervene, I have no choice but to take someone’s side, so I have to let the winners and the losers figure out their own rankings. It is forbidden to kill or maim each other. I will slit my own throat for that.”
Valkas could only clap his hands inwardly.
‘It’s no wonder that Rata Froch, that young mad dog, has become a puppy. The little boy that the 3rd Army called the little emperor ten years ago has now become a giant who commands Balkas and the Black Kings.’
Suddenly, I remembered what Lata and Jet said at a drinking party last night.
-Lord Barkas is probably rather lucky. It was only after I lost my most cherished subordinate to my lord, that my only younger brother was captured, and broke up in a fight, that I discovered his worth.
-Thanks to me… haha I literally went through hardships. It was so convincing when he played Beradin Zipple. When I first came to Tican, I was a complete beggar. I was living as a wealthy silverfish in the Akin Kingdom, but I was able to become a valuable human being when I got involved with Nari.
-On the other hand, didn’t the Black Kings only lose their lives and reputation? Even with that, the living has almost all of its vital gear left, and its reputation… I’m sure. When the lord ascends to the throne of the world, the Dark Kingdom will gain a reputation that shines dozens of times more than it had before. Me and this friend Jet are the same.
Barkas grinned.
“That was a great answer, lord. Then what will the lord do?”
Then Jin replied without thinking for a second.
“Great mercenary Amela.”
It was the correct answer.
“You have to embrace her. If it is impossible to be subsumed, we have to make sure to keep it in check.”
