Chapter 654,
Chapter 166. Traces of Kaldran Snowfield (1)
Kaldran Snowfield in Eastern Area 5.
In the Kaldran snowfield at this time, it was common for experienced adventurers or hardened uninhabited islands to get lost and freeze to death.
Of course, the party that came to the snowfield now had nothing to do with verbs, but finding the way with only the map Ronil gave them was a daunting task.
That would be if it wasn’t for Shuri. Shuri was doing a good job of guiding the group this time as well.
“Kyahaha! Come on Shuri. Let’s kiss this sister. How can our Shuri be so smart? Is it because he resembles the owner?”
[Meaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeg]
Zephyrin snorted as Shuri pushed Sandra away.
“sister? You’re talking funny, biotic golem lady. The red jade tomb of Jin Runkandel is at least a thousand years old.”
“Oh my, why are you fighting over something like this?”
“Are you arguing? I just found you funny.”
“Hey, tear that mouth crosswise.”
“From a while ago, there is nothing that I can’t believe in the physical beauty butler. You should know that there are more monsters in this world than you think.”
“Hey, if you’re that confident, why don’t you try it first? I assure you, the moment you touch even one of my fingertips, Hedo will surely draw his sword. Then, of course, they will fight until the decision is made, and I think I know which side will win.”
“Ah really. How did I get treated like this? It wasn’t just my master’s order…”
“In Sota Desert, Jin couldn’t fight because of the stolen items, and this time it was because of the owner’s order. The title of Grand Duke of the Demon Realm is fine. Even if you always lose, you have a lot of excuses.”
“Ha okay. Then bio golem you hit me first. I will definitely kill you.”
Unlike Zephyrin, Sandra tried to swing her fist at once, but Hedo pulled it and couldn’t reach Zephyrin.
Hedo sighed heavily as he watched Sandra thrash in his grasp. Since the beginning of the journey, Sandra and Zephyrin have been engaged in a constant war of nerves.
Looking back, the atmosphere was not very good when they first met in Sota Desert.
“Don’t you think there is not too much tension in enemy territory?”
said Jin.
“But Mr. Jin, that keeps getting on my nerves. Did you just see it? Fumble first.”
“Is it a secret from Jin that you deliberately stepped on my heels the whole time you were walking?”
“If you two do it one more time, I’ll leave you somewhere and go alone. Everyone will have no problem escaping the Kaldran snowfield without me, right?”
Sandra and Zephyrin shut their mouths at the same time.
‘It’s powerful!’
‘If the damn owner got kicked out of a fight with a living golem, they’d be treated even worse than this…’
Sandra was just Jin’s words, and Zephyrin knew those were not empty words.
As the two became quiet in an instant, Hedo felt resentful of Jin for finally intervening.
The group quietly moved forward.
It was a very slow pace. Since Ronil’s last visit to the snowfield, knights stained with chaos had been encamped here.
The moment they discover me, I will send the main unit from the Garden of Swords. In the worst case, Rosa may come to visit.
It would take a considerable amount of time for her to directly track her from the Garden of Swords to the Kaldran Snowfield, but it was unpredictable if she would use Chaos Dragon or the Prophet’s Den used in the Sota Desert.
‘If Oul-nim had been there, I would have been able to move so fast that it couldn’t compare to this, but it’s frustrating.’
Owl was currently in a situation where he could not help Jin as he was tracking Jonah’s whereabouts.
For the past three years since the subjugation of Gleek, Jonah’s runaway cycle has been getting shorter and shorter.
When I think of Jonah, my heart aches.
‘I have to use the purifier on my sister too… I must find it before the encroachment ends.’
According to the news Oul sent to Tikan a few days ago, it was not yet in the complete encroachment stage.
The Barmal Alliance couldn’t find her better than Nameless.
Jin felt a bit bitter that he was still not enough to protect his family perfectly even after gaining such great power.
That’s why I felt like I was able to understand my father’s poetry theory a little bit.
I walked for three days, clearing my thoughts. Fortunately, the party was able to cross the snow-covered stony mountains without being detected by the reconnaissance knights.
However, during the trip, I couldn’t get any additional information about Valeria. There was nothing but snow and rocks, a pale, dark sky, day and night.
“…Looks like you’re almost there.”
In the distance, I saw a dead-end cliff that cuts through the depths of the snowy mountain.
Shuri pointed to one side of the cliff with her paw, which was the location of the cave, though not yet visible to the party.
Jin sent Shuri back to the red prison.
It was because I felt confused. It had been like that for the past three days, but a particularly thick spirit spread around the cave.
“Hmm, I knew it would be like this. It’s difficult to closely monitor the entire snowfield, but the area near the cave where Hester disappeared is certainly guarded.”
“If you intend to keep entering, it seems that you can’t avoid a battle from here. 12 riders.”
Zephyrin and Hedo said.
“It’s not an expected problem anyway. I’ll go in.”
“You know very well that there are so many variables from here on out, right? I honestly don’t know. I wonder if Hester survivors are worth the risk to save.”
“That’s not for you to judge, Zephyrin.”
“There is no such thing as a tyrant. Of course, if Hester was in that cave, there would be no need to worry. To be honest, you don’t think there’s such a possibility for Jin too, right?”
“hey! Our own colleague disappeared over there. Whether there is a possibility or not, isn’t it my duty to go? Don’t the demon tribesmen have any camaraderie at all?”
“I can see where you are barking. Jin-kyung I mean, I’d rather find a place other than the snowy field. Sir Ronil missed, and as far as I can see Runcandel does too. If they had caught them, they would have already tried to negotiate or threaten them.”
As Zephyrin said, there was no possibility that Valeria would remain in that cave.
However, Temar’s tomb was always composed of ‘sub-space’. In Baolai in the Great Plains of Andre, in the coast of Shucheron Kingdom, in the world of Myoin, and in Wantaramo Forest.
Ronil said that Valeria disappeared without a trace right in that cave.
‘If there is a subspace in that cave that leads to Temar’s tomb…’
Valeria reached Temar’s fifth tomb and took refuge there.
Or it could have been forced to move because certain conditions were met by chance rather than escape.
“Subspace can exist, Zephyrin. All of Temar’s tombs I’ve been through have been like that.”
“You mean a Hester survivor could have entered there? It makes a little sense now. The reason why you didn’t give up hope.”
“You can go on a subspace date following a snowfield date! Romance, again, romance!”
“And there’s something I didn’t understand from the beginning. Why did you bring this living golem? It’s not that I have a sense of power, and I always say stupid things like this.”
Zephyrin was asking Hedo, not Jin.
Hedo didn’t answer and wiped the frost off his glasses.
“…The 12th rider, then the entry has been decided. How are you going to do it?”
“I think Zephyrin would do well to take care of all the knights first.”
Although he was in high spirits, Jin thought that if he was Zephyrin, he could overwhelm all the knights near the cave. Although she has always been defeated by Jin in one way or another, she was definitely one of the strongest in the world.
“Then it will be obvious. Keep your eyes open until full-fledged reinforcements arrive, right?”
“It’s too simplistic.”
“I can’t do anything other than that. Because we can’t assassinate all that many people without a trace.”
“Then what am I going to do?”
“Please cover me while I search for traces of subspace inside the cave.”
“What I like. I still needed someone to take my anger out on because of some living golem.”
“Zephyrin.”
“why?”
“I want to ask you a favor.”
Jin said while making eye contact with Zephyrin.
Zephyrin almost showed a look of bewilderment in his eyes. It was the first time he had ever seen the demon speak to him in such a respectful manner.
“ask…?”
“If possible, I would like to finish the articles without too much pain.”
-Does that mean that most of the remaining knights in the Garden of Swords did not revolt because they were consumed by chaos rather than voluntarily?
– There must be no self-righteous people. But like you said, most will. What mad knight would want to fight under such a monster? No matter how strong the monster is. The knights who make up Runcandel are especially proud of them.
Jin recalled the conversation he had with Jorden while receiving the family swords.
Most of the knights in the Kaldran Snowfield were forced to become monsters of chaos.
It was impossible to purify them all. Judging by the size of the marriage period in the first place, they were almost completely encroached upon.
As Zephyrin was about to answer something, Jin bowed his head to her.
Soon, Zephyrin shrugged as if he couldn’t help it.
“…let it be. I don’t like doing it for you, but I guess that’s a more dignified thing.”
“Thank you. Let the debt be paid off.”
“Can we start right away?”
“okay.”
“When something unexpected happens, we give a signal. When I roar three times in a row, get out of the cave immediately and prepare to escape.”
“Go and die. no! i don’t want to die Until we get out of here, make sure to live, Devil Dragon! Keep the promise you made to Jin. Understand?”
Zephyrin changed into her true form and snorted.
[You should do well on your own gloomy date, Biotic Golem. Judging from my long experience, it seems that the Hester survivor Jin-kyung is trying to save is more than just a comrade… Hehe.]
“What the heck!”
The knights of the snow field, who sensed Zephyrin, began releasing spirits in earnest.
Sandra was swearing at Zephyrin’s back as she flew up.
