Chapter 595,
Chapter 155. Back to Lapla Rosa (3)
Within three years, Rosa Runkandel’s time will end.
Whether it was death, becoming a monster like Smarion Froch, or some other form, he did not know.
The possibility is extremely slim, but if she finally overcomes ‘Demonic Flower’, she may be able to reach the creation like Ron.
However, Jin decided to rule out the case of Rosa climbing the castle.
It was because Rosa, not anyone else, used the expression ‘I will be able to hold on’. As Jin thought, Rosa thought that it was impossible to completely get rid of the Demonic Flower with her own power.
Even Shiron, who has already reached Changseong, is aware that the time left for him is not that long. Rosa knew his condition better than anyone.
“Rather, what you should be concerned about is Zipple’s recovery, not me. Kelliac Ziple is currently incapacitated, but he will probably regain his strength faster than I do.”
Rosa was not the only one in the family who fell into demonization.
The dark knights and the elite knights who survived the war were also exposed to large and small chaos. The same goes for Jeep.
“Even when we regain our strength, we won’t be able to move hastily within the agreement period.”
“I guess so. But there’s no way you wouldn’t know that it doesn’t mean anything. If they have overwhelming power over us when the truce is over. That day is the beginning of extinction.”
The official armistice was for five years.
The crowd hoped the truce would last forever, but both families knew it was the final respite and the eve of the storm after a long thousand-year war.
After the truce is over, the final winner and loser will definitely be decided.
“So this is your last chance. Prove you are right by all means possible. If you succeed, you will have everything in the family.”
‘If I give them the confidence to stop their demonization, complete the machine and fleet, and lead the Thousand Year War to victory.’
will be the host Rosa was talking about that.
Jin reached the final journey to ascend to the throne of Runcandel. However, it was a little strange, but Jin did not believe Rosa’s words straight away.
“the youngest.”
“Tell me.”
“The Prophet has already said that you can do anything you want to do right now. But the reason I’m giving you a chance is because Shiron believes in you… and because you influenced me a little bit.”
“The day will come when you will hear jokes from your mother. I don’t know that you are weighing me and the Prophet.”
Rosa smiled at Jin’s lifeless voice.
“Don’t expect the scales to tip in your direction.”
“A mother and a prophet. And former Second Horseman Joshua Runcandel, who is imprisoned in a dungeon.”
Jin turned around and stopped talking for a moment.
“I will definitely finish it with my own hands, so I wish you well until then.”
“It was a bold statement that brought tears to my eyes. I think the conversation is over, so let’s go.”
Jin naturally followed Rosa and left the office.
Suddenly thinking about it, it felt like this was the first time I had walked through the Garden of Swords alongside Rosa.
Even Rosa had a breezy gait, like a person with good things going on.
It was the first time I had seen Rosa like that.
“Let all members of the waiting house line up in the garden.”
I didn’t call anyone separately, and I didn’t make a loud noise. It was only recited in the air, but Rosa’s order was spread in an instant.
Even though it was not in a normal state, the state she reached was still shining with dignity.
It took less than three minutes for the rider, knight, elder butler, and literary servants to gather in the garden.
Rosa stopped walking, and Jin stayed with her for a while, looking down at the members of the family.
“Today, the 12th riders begin training in the closing hall. I gathered you all to inform you of this, so please wish everyone good luck.”
The family is in jeopardy and everyone is spending days without eyes open, but it’s closed training.
Most were shocked, but no one dared to express it.
Because Rosa admitted it.
“When Horseman 12 returns, everyone here will have to look better than they are now. Just like the 12th Horseman has always been.”
In fact, Rosa’s action now was no different than a proclamation that the current generation of horsemen’s rank war was over.
Jin is talking as if he will become the family head immediately upon returning from training.
Luna Runtia Joshua. All but three of the riders were gathered.
‘The youngest… will become the head of household?’
‘After the closing training is over!?’
The Tona brothers managed to hide their bewildered feelings.
Ran and Vigo were startled for a moment, but immediately lowered their eyes. In the first place, they never had a moment when they were actively competing for the title of owner.
Mu and Ann did not react otherwise. It was a fact that everyone in the family now knew that they had changed.
But Difus and Merry were convinced that this would not be the end, as Jin was in the Oval Office.
In particular, Deepus was recalling the conversation he had with Jin right after Joshua’s fall.
-So what you’re saying is that the mother intends to bind the Prophet and later put everything on him and restore Joshua’s rights?
-More than that, Mother once again reestablished your authority by bringing Joshua down. This will erase the blemishes from the Exiled Case. Because he showed a platform that directly defeated the second rider he supported so much. Whatever the story, the members of the family are bound to fear their mother even more in the future.
-In this way, after raising your power to the limit, bring Joshua back to the ground and hand over all power… The Prophet bears all of the sins and justifications.
‘The war of ranks will not end until Mother, Joshua and the Prophet die.’
Mew and Anne had some kind of relationship with the Prophet. They haven’t found any confirmation yet, but that’s what Difus and Merry guessed.
Their job was to keep the Prophet in check until Jin returned.
One of the reasons Jin was able to leave like this was his trust in them and Runtia.
Unlike the two, Runtia couldn’t be said to have an obvious friendly relationship, but her pure fighting spirit would never be easily stained by the Prophet’s wiles.
“Go.”
As Rosa said, the knights split into two sides and formed a path leading outside the Garden of Swords.
The first trip to Lapra Rosa in 1796 as a reserve jockey was a choice to avoid Ziffle and Kingelo with a compass.
The second trip to Lapla Rosa in 1798 was to hide from the wanted orders of Runcandel and Ziple.
And now the third Lapla Rosa line.
For the first time, it was not a fugitive, but a confident departure for full achievement. That too, while receiving transmissions from all the families.
As Jin walked slowly, the knights raised their swords and showed their respect whenever he passed.
Looking at the back of her youngest son, who was slowly moving away, Rosa remembered the name ‘Ganesto’, the family’s fate, and Shiron.
* * *
Shortly after the end of the Geomhwang Temple, Shiron’s expedition also decided to compete against Kial.
The battle ended in victory for the expedition and no one died.
It is true that the force of the expedition is transcendent, but originally, Shiron expected to lose a few knights.
Gleeek’s death at the height of the battle affected Kyar as well.
As soon as he recognized the disappearance of Gleec, Kiral lost his temper in a frenzy.
Of course, there were no fatalities, and the damage the expedition received was by no means small.
It’s already been a month since the battle, but the expedition corps couldn’t move forward, and they were taking care of themselves.
It was because they were all exposed to chaos.
[ha ha ha. old man! The meal is ready… If everyone is seated, this Ozdock will bring it to you!]
Ozdock said as he put the dish made from the remnants of chaos into a bowl.
Even Ozdok, who had passed out after being bounced all the way to the far side of the battlefield, was also faintly confused. However, it was still at a level that could not harm the mind at all.
In other words, he was the only one in an intact state in the expedition.
And the knights found an unexpected side to him. When the battle was over and the knights were almost dying, Ozdok was able to escape.
Ozdok did not run away at that time, but stayed in place and helped the knights recover.
It wasn’t because he thought that if he ran away, he would surely face a brutal death at the hands of Shiron, who had returned from the expedition.
It was a decision I made because I felt a sense of loyalty as a member of the expedition and also decided that it was the right thing to do. The knights didn’t know that.
“Thank you… Ozdok.”
“Thank you.”
At the voice of Luna and the knights, Ozdok felt his heart thump.
On the other hand, it was also painful. It was because he knew that most of the knights had already been irreversibly exposed to chaos.
The only future given to them was to become a monster or die during the expedition.
As the power of the story weakens, Ozdok is also recovering a little more of his old memories.
According to my vague memories, only the witch Heluram had the way to get rid of chaos.
‘I think I heard that Heluram disappeared somewhere in the Black Sea a thousand years ago. Uh, even though my memory has come back a bit, it still comes and goes. The condition of the elderly is like that, so I can’t ask if you know anything related to it…’
Of course, Shiron was the most exposed to chaos. Since the end of the war, he had been in a sitting position and hadn’t said a single word.
“Ozdock.”
[Ehgu ghumona!]
Ozdok raised his head as he stomped his butt.
Shiron, who had been like a stone statue for a month, suddenly called himself and felt like his liver was running out.
[Oh, the old man! Are you all right! You’re awake!]
“Go!”
Ozdok quickly approached Shiron with Luna and the knights almost crawling.
Shiron slowly rose and spread his aura towards them.
It was an aura mixed with the creation aura and magical energy. His energy seemed to shake off the chaos clinging to the bodies of his daughter and knights in an instant.
The encroachment has not been resolved. However, the expedition team was able to raise their bodies as if they were going to live with that alone.
“Am I bound to be so surprised every time?”
[I will be careful not to look frivolous! I’m so thrilled that the elder finally woke up after shaking it off…]
Shiron smiled faintly at those words.
Not only Ozdok but also the knights couldn’t help but be shocked by the sight.
Rather, Shiron’s condition was better than before he was engulfed by Kyal’s chaos. Everyone felt his aura clearer.
“Starting today, only bring food made from the remnants of chaos to me. I will refine it into energy and distribute it again.”
[yeah! I’ll do that, elder!]
While Ozdock was almost running around collecting the knights’ food, Shiron looked back at the royalties and praised Barisada.
It was to pay respect to Ron, who would have died in the end after blocking Gleeek from royalties.
And suddenly, curiosity and trust toward the youngest arose.
‘Seeing that I can still feel aura in Ron’s energy that is still faintly left… The youngest must have helped him in his final realization. In the end, it’s definitely up to him to put the family back in place.’
Luna, who regained her energy, also raised her magical energy and naturally helped Shiron’s energy. She also had the same thoughts as Shiron.
