Chapter 632 Chapter
163. Return of family (1)
February 10, 1803. Five days have passed since Jin went to Gugoksaeseong.
During those five days, Jin was able to hear from his colleagues in detail what had happened over the past two years and six months. The world’s game change, the development of technology, the situation of each force, etc.
Most of it was what I heard before going to Guigoksaeseong, and the level of detail was added to it.
For example, these were the pieces of information.
Kingelo secured a new headquarters to replace the ‘Old Headquarters’ in the Land of Beasts and recruited a large number of demons like Ranke, and Ziffle closed all the Magic Towers except for the 1st Magic Tower, creating a new system for the entire ‘Lutero Magic Federation’. that it is organizing.
In addition, the imperial family was incorporated into Zipple along with the eastern part of the Empire, and like all forces belonging to the Lutero Magic Federation, it received technology from Zipple and operated a number of fleets.
In addition, the technology called chaos control is being used in the ‘reinforced humans’ such as the biological golem, which is a master of mines and fleets.
In the midst of that, it was only the Barmal Union and its friendly forces that hadn’t used Chaos at all yet.
“Sir Dante worked hard while Confucius was gone. Without Sir Dante, not only the East, but the whole Empire would have fallen to Ziffle, or it would have been split up and divided into different factions.”
Casimir spoke humbly, but in fact, the reason why the ‘forces to reject chaos’ were able to survive was that the role of the Barmal Union and the Secret Kingdom was also great.
The Secret Palace of the Barmal Union. These representative anti-chaos forces were relying on each other to survive.
“In an age when flying ships and chaos control have become commonplace, we are the only ones with technical advances in the strict sense of the word.”
The technology of Zipple and Kingelo is actually hidden and is only being revealed.
Of course, there have been advances in chaos control, but the production of flying ships has been possible before.
On the other hand, the Bamal Alliance has achieved a technological revolution called ‘wavelength tracking mobile space leap’ beyond manufacturing flying ships, and has even prepared a means to completely purify chaos in limited situations.
Although other forces could use the chaos, they couldn’t even attempt to purify it.
In the first place, their research is being conducted for use rather than purification.
“Yes, Confucius.”
“In the meantime, Runkandel has been hiding all external activities while sealing off the city of Calon for half a year…”
Runkandel.
About them, who were the former two powers, Tikan found out little about them while Jin left.
Their activities became closed, there were 7 explosions and earthquakes, and all they did was capture the situation that Jin’s news was being controlled.
“Even half a year ago, little was known about the riders’ foreign activities. Articles about the remnants of the contaminated area and the contagious being subdued appear occasionally, but they do not appear in public.”
Difus Meritona Brother.
There was no news at all from that point on even the four riders who could be said to be friendly with Jin who remained in the Garden of Swords.
Until then, like Jonah, they often visited Tikan and asked about Jin.
“And as I said before, all routes to contacting the young master and the friendly riders from our side have been blocked. Even when riders came to visit, I didn’t hear anything special about the family
. I would have done the same.”
4 7 10 11 It is true that Jockey is friendly with Jin, but he is not a perfect mate.
This is because Jin always kept more than a certain distance from them.
It had to be. I don’t know about the Tona brothers, but no matter how close the others are, in the end they were competitors.
-Maybe sooner or later your sister will find a little clue about Temar’s fifth tomb.
– Sister Runtia? Somehow, I heard that Difus-hyung, not Runtia-sister, was in charge of preventing chaos. You were looking for Temar’s tomb. I’m surprised it’s helpful enough for you.
-There may have been information inside Runcandel that you don’t know about. The 3rd rider is moving based on that.
The last news about Runtia, another bona fide competitor, was related to Temar’s fifth tomb.
Valeria was also tracking down the tomb of Temar while purifying the society of the small beasts, and found a decisive clue in the traces of Runtia’s movement.
Because of that, even after Jin returned, he is still not returning to Tikan.
‘Father and Sister Luna’s expedition will still be in the Black Sea. And… the possibility that he has already been killed cannot be ruled out.’
I can only hope that it is not.
Jin swallowed a sigh and looked at his colleagues.
“Anyway, it would be better to assume that the family has passed to the Prophet.”
Otherwise, it was just an incomprehensible situation.
“Then… do you intend not to return to the Garden of Swords, Bocchan?”
“No, but I’ll have to go back and check for myself.”
“It’s too dangerous, Confucius.”
“Lord, that is what I think. How about watching a little longer?”
The colleagues who watched the match against Smarion had no doubt that Jin’s inaction had reached a level worthy of being called the strongest.
Even so, it was dangerous to go to Runkandel alone. If the Prophet really took control of the family, Runkandel would of course be digging a trap to capture Jin.
No matter how dangerous Smarion was, it was nothing compared to the whole of Runkandel.
“Of course, I will keep an eye on the situation. But I can’t see it for long.”
“Is it because of your promise to Rosa? If you have already judged that the family has passed to the Prophet, then you do not have to keep the three-year deadline allowed by Rosa.”
“It’s not because of that, Quikantel. There are two reasons why I want to visit the family. The first is to check the family’s situation properly, and the second is because they don’t know my strength yet.”
If there is no problem for the first reason. If the reason the family hides itself is just to catch its breath.
Jin just needs to prepare to rise to the home of Runkandel in earnest.
Either by naturally transferring power or by forcefully bringing her down.
However, if the control of the Prophet was clearly revealed during the confirmation process, Jin had to classify ‘The Prophet’s Runcandel’ as an enemy from then on and wage a war.
“…When the family doesn’t know my strength, I have to inflict as much damage as possible. The Prophet has taken over the family and the only reason they’re holding their breath is to get new information from me.”
“Do you mean that if things go wrong, you will immediately fight alone on the spot?”
“That’s right.”
“Therefore, it is no different from Murakan of the past. What if you run into a trap you can’t handle?”
“We have to escape. You’ll need help from the Red Owl Ho and Mort, though.”
“…Yes, fortunately, it’s really not as good as Murakan back then. If it were Murakan, he would have just said that nothing in the world could stop him.”
“I know what Quikantel and his colleagues are concerned about. However, we cannot continue to stock up on the outside without knowing the exact situation of Runkandel. In the meantime, if the power of the Prophet continues to grow, it will really become unbearable later on.”
If the Prophet is just hoarding his strength while taking control of the family, he must strike as soon as possible.
Even if it means taking some risk. Jin thought so.
“Also, I don’t think everything would really be like that, even if the line passed to the Prophet. There must be some who are resisting, and we must rescue them and include them in our forces before they are finished.”
Brothers Difus and Mary Tona. It was with those four people in mind.
“Whoa.”
Quikantel and his colleagues sighed. It wasn’t a sigh that came from thinking Jin’s words were wrong.
Even though Jin has come back so strong, even though the Bamal Alliance has made so much progress. It was frustrating that they were still in a position where they had no choice but to take a lot of risks and make judgments in the midst of inferiority.
In any case, the best outcome would be that the family was intact, but the possibility of that was very low.
“Everyone, don’t think too hard. It’s something you have to face anyway, and fortunately, we have achieved what we wanted to some extent in the past two and a half years. And even if the line has passed to the Prophet, one thing is certain: we have the upper hand.”
New information that Jin got.
Assuming the Prophet swallowed the family, that would be the only reason Runcandel didn’t pressure Tikan.
“First of all, please let everyone know that I have returned. Let’s see how the family reacts.”
“and?”
“If possible, please contact Beradin. The great powers will surely know more about Runkandel than we do, so if you’re lucky, you might hear something.”
“I’ll try, but I’d rather not expect that. Lord Beradin has never had an outside activity since Confucius entered training.”
Jin nodded with a bitter face.
“…Then, Beradin will have to give up. Well, if you think about it, if Veradin and Sandra don’t come to me first when my return is announced, it would be right to judge that they have a problem too.”
“I’m going to contact the Secret Palace today… Oh, it looks like Mort is over there.”
Outside the window, I saw Mort the Blindfold’s white portal opening. Mort looked quite tired. After the creation of the Chaos Particles, Motte’s dimensional movement was also somewhat restricted.
“son-in-law! As soon as you arrive, do I have to find you first like this again? Even if it is an era where movement gates have disappeared.”
As soon as she found out that Smarion had been subdued, she found Tikan.
“It’s been a while, Mr. Thalaris. I just had something to tell you…
” Are you planning to visit Runkandel?”
Talaris recognized Jin’s intentions before he could speak.
“That’s right.”
“I was looking for you because of that. Now that I’m strong enough to catch Smarion, I’m worried that I’ll be so confident that I’ll go alone without this body. Let’s talk a little bit about the backlog for now.”
From that day on, Tikan immediately announced Jin’s return to the world. Reporters led by Dino Jaglan constantly poured out special reports, but there was nothing about Ranke and Smarion.
Rather, they spread false advertisements saying that it was Dante who overpowered Smarion.
It was better to hide Jin’s inaction until he went to Runkandel, and it was more beneficial to advertise Dante’s power.
Runkandel did not express any particular stance on Jin’s return.
Instead, they seemed to be giving out a special report about finding the ‘relic of the first family head’…
Until then, Tikan hadn’t received any contact from Valeria.
