Chapter 592,
Chapter 154. Siblings and friends
“Long time no see Jin!”
Belladin shouted brightly.
“Honey, our Mr. Jin!”
Sandra, who was next to him, swung the golden prosthetic arm that replaced her right hand with her mouth full of cookie crumbs. Looking at the picture of his face engraved on the golden prosthetic arm, Jin was startled for a moment.
“I received your reply to the letter I sent last time! Where did you learn such a romantic language?”
“…reply? romantic?”
Of course, I don’t remember sending a reply.
However, Sandra firmly believed that Jin had given her an answer through some kind of invisible signal.
“Next time, Radin asked me to go to the villa and play with him.”
“No, when will I?”
“Oh Jin. Are you really dating Sandra noona!? So now you are my… brother-in-law!?”
“Radin, how many times must I tell you? He’s not your brother-in-law anymore, but your brother-in-law in the first place.”
“It makes me feel good that my friend is my brother-in-law!”
“It’s good?”
“Weird!”
“What are they doing at other people’s business places and even on holidays?”
As soon as the siblings arrived in Tikan, they visited the Ritra Tea House. Then, to Latri, who announced that today was a holiday, he reluctantly entered the snack bar, saying, ‘We are Zipple!’
Instead, the Ritra Tea Shop paid a large amount of money that could not be touched even if they worked non-stop for a full year.
The problem was that the two were not the only uninvited guests who were forcibly operating the Ritra Tea Shop.
In the back corner of the center table occupied by Veradin and Sandra sat a man wearing a hooded hood.
‘…Valeria!? Why is Master here?’
It was Valeria whom I had met just a few days ago in the second castle of Hiran. Jin hadn’t heard from Casimir that she, too, was at the Litra Tea Shop.
-Anyway, you’ll see them much more often than before, so there’s no need to feel sorry for them. There are more things to share with you and more things to help each other. In the future, I plan to use the Tikan often when escaping from Jeeple’s pursuit.
At that time, Valeria must have stopped by the territory of the Emperor’s Palace to thank Ron and said that she would visit the lore site, but she stopped by Ritra’s refreshment shop to take a break. It was because he was tired of dealing with the chaos around the territory of Geomwangseong.
To Jin, Valeria is always a welcome person. Recently, he found Quaul much faster than expected and made him his own, so he was about to get in touch with Valeria again.
But now it was a bit difficult. I didn’t want to see her with two pure-blooded jiples.
Fortunately, it was the fact that Veradin and Sandra were not showing any interest in Valeria, who was still sitting in the corner.
“Let’s go out and talk.”
“I like it here! It was my dream to have a cup of tea with Jin in such a nice atmosphere.”
“There are better places.”
“Where are you?”
“The meeting room of the Tikan Kingdom.”
There was silence for a moment.
“Is it because of the Hester sitting over there?”
At that point, Jin was the only one who was taken aback.
“Ah, what are you worried about between us? They say they are wearing a robe, but they have red hair and a silver pine cane. But Ladin and I are pure-blooded jiples, so can’t you recognize that?”
Valeria already knew that they recognized her. During the long pursuit, her red hair and silver pine staff had already been discovered a long time ago.
Valeria keeps quiet because there is no way she will be caught by them. And what Jin was worried about was not Valeria being caught, but the other way around.
Jin was rather worried that she would kill or capture the two of them and use them.
For Valeria, he was the mortal enemy who destroyed the Ziffle family and annihilated the Gray Owl Mercenary Corps.
‘Have you decided to watch it since you heard about the two from me and my colleagues?’
Valeria was curious about the two of them, especially Beradin. Is he really a person who can take the lead in the purification of the jiple, as the Tikan people say?
Reluctantly, Jin took a seat at the table for the two of them.
The eyes of Jin and Beradin met. Sandra, who was so excited, talked nonstop, and the two were silent for a while.
The last time Jin met Beradin was during the Black Emperor Terror.
That day, Jin and Dante asked Beradin for a favor.
Jiple asked him to make a picture of full-fledged pressure so that Hi-Ran could clearly distinguish between her and her peers.
The result came out a month ago.
It is a bittersweet and sad ending that everyone knows. Because the royal family chose zipline and white stone over Hiran, and as a result, Gleek woke up and the world was polluted.
It was an incident that had no choice but to happen even if Beradin hadn’t asked for it from his friends, but he was carrying heavy guilt like punishment.
“How are you?”
“so so.”
“No, I’m not doing well! Ladin, talk to me. If you hadn’t been forced into a runaway state, wouldn’t Uncle Kadun and Hedo have participated in the Sword Emperor’s Crusade?”
It was predicted from the battlefield that Veradin would do something for Dante.
“A runaway? Were you in the same condition during the Ventica mission?”
During the mission to kill Barton Vichena, the Black Knight, Beradin lost his temper and attacked Jin.
“Similar.”
“Although the magical power he showed at that time was amazing, it wasn’t to the extent that he couldn’t subdue it without Cardun and Hedo.”
“My magic power was incomparably stronger than when I was in Ventica. Isn’t this kind of amazing now? Until yesterday, I was stuck in the retaining machine. Well, thanks to that, my family won’t be able to manipulate my mind for a while.”
So far, Ziple has been manipulating Beradin’s mind through special methods, including dark magic and demon stones.
However, it was impossible now because the demon stone was broken, Keliac was tied to the retainer, and Veradin’s body and body were damaged from the runaway.
In the past, when Veradin first confessed about his manipulation of his mind, Jin thought that the reason was only for Ziffle to raise Veradin as a suitable successor.
It didn’t seem like that now.
“Then, it seems that you’ve lost all of that magic now.”
Jin didn’t feel any magic from Beradin. The current Veradin was a body that could not be called a wizard.
“Not only magic power, but also memory problems. I can’t remember the names of my brothers, and I’ve forgotten a lot of magic. It is a side effect of the runaway. Magic will definitely come back, but memories can’t be sure. It’s not enough to learn magic again.”
The current Beradin had lost much more memories than Jin thought.
Even in the midst of that, the stories he had with the two people he cherished the most, Jean and Dante, remained clear.
“What the hell is Ziffle trying to do by manipulating your mind and enhancing your magical powers?”
“Well, the only thing that is certain is that Sandra and I are some kind of test subjects. As you know, my sister is more of a living golem and I… haven’t figured it out yet. Like you said before, it’s probably not to raise him as an heir. Because my father is getting closer and closer to eternal life.”
The appearance of Kelliac rejuvenating through the power of the demon stone was confirmed by everyone who participated in the Geomhwang Temple. It was unlikely that such a Kelliac Ziple would hand over the head of state to Beradin.
Suddenly.
Jin came up with an assumption.
‘The physical abilities of Sandra Ziple, shown in the Gaipa Islands, far exceeded those of ordinary wizards. And since Beradin’s mental manipulation and magical power enhancement are being done at the same time…’ A
powerful body equipped with super regenerative ability and artificially strengthening magical power.
What if Zipple’s purpose is to combine the two to create a biological weapon? Just like the ultimate magic swordsmen in the old Runcandel…
Besides, Beradin is in a state of contract with more than one god at the same time. It was likely that he too was the result of an experiment, not just because Beradin was a blessed mage.
I didn’t get that idea out of my mouth. It was disgusting and I felt like vomiting.
“Anyway, I’m sorry. You and Dante have suffered so much because of my ancestry.”
“You did nothing wrong.”
“I am Zipple. Looking at the way the world is going, origin itself is the original sin.”
“Such dull sounds don’t suit you, so get rid of them. Because Dante still has no intention of fighting you and thinks there is no fault of yours.”
“Are you going to abandon our Radin?”
“Looks like something I need to think about.”
“Okay, just throw away Radin and live happily with me.”
Jin let out a smirk at those words.
“Do you remember the story we told you during the attack on the Imperial Palace of Veradin?”
-Under any circumstances, it’s just the three of us as long as we don’t betray each other.
I remembered it well.
The words Jin said while he was unconscious in the maintenance device were the only milestones in Veradin’s unconscious. Just as Ron and Dante Jin, who were stained with chaos during the Sword Emperor’s Crusade, reflected on each other and did not get lost in the end.
“of course. If it hadn’t been for those words, I wouldn’t have come here.”
“That’s it.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but hug me too.”
“It’s about betraying Zipple.”
“If you swear to formally marry me, how much?”
In fact, Sandra never did anything that would harm Jin as a result. And she had already made up her mind to participate in purifying the zipline with Beradin.
It was only because he thought Jin would like him more. Naturally, Jin did not trust Sandra, but there will never be a case where she will hurt Jin voluntarily in the future.
“I’ll call Dante, so have a drink and go home. When you return, say that Hester’s survivors were here. If that’s the case, the Zipple leadership won’t think that there hasn’t been any harvest. You have changed your feelings into confirmation.”
“No, no. Jin should go on a date with me. You promised, right?”
“I’d appreciate it if you thought of the four of us going on a date together, Sandra Ziple. I never promised.”
Less than an hour later, Dante visited Litra’s tea shop. As soon as Dante saw Veradin, he hugged him for a long time without saying a word.
And when the drinking party was over and the Litra Tea Shop was quiet again, Jin stayed with Valeria and looked at the record window together.
“Record magic cannot confirm whether Veradin Ziple’s words that his mind was not manipulated are false or true.”
said Valeria.
Instead, the record window clearly revealed one record left at the Ritra Tea Shop today.
< Beradin Ziple's determination not to betray Jin Runkandel and Dante Hylan is further strengthened here. >
