Chapter 665 Chapter
169. To the Holy Land of the Enemy (3)
“Just as you have heard, Sir Ronil. They said that Hester should be restored in the holy ground of Ziffle.”
When Jin replied naturally, Ronil’s eyebrows narrowed.
In the last meeting, I hadn’t seen him show his emotions to this extent.
Kadun and Octavia’s eyes widened in amazement.
It was completely unexpected that he would hear such a shocking story at this moment when he came to intimidate the temporary allies.
“Jin-kyung, there are many ears to listen to now. Did you think it was a good story to bring up in a place like this?”
“I didn’t know it was such a big secret. It’s because Kingelo’s leader didn’t take it seriously.”
Ronil glared at Orgal. Orgal barely got up and was shaking his hands as if he was sorry.
A moment of silence passed.
In the meantime, Jin asked all of his colleagues except for himself and Casimir to leave, and only Orgal and Zephyrin remained on Kingelo’s side.
“What was Lord Orgal thinking?”
[Sudden gasp…]
“My master is in a difficult state to speak anymore, so let me answer for you, Zipples.”
Zephyrin said, carrying Orgal on her back.
“First of all, I hope that Zipple will listen to my story without getting excited. I understand that Jinkyung is annoyed at the fact that he brought up sensitive information again.”
“petulance? Do you think that would be enough?”
When Octavia stopped talking, Zephyrin’s eyes flashed with intent to kill.
“Please don’t interrupt me. Let me tell you in advance that this is a warning, not a request. My master knew of its existence long before you called it Holy Land, and was once its custodian. So it is what you got when the owner lost his power.”
“So you’re claiming it?”
Ronil’s voice calmed down again.
That’s because the person named Ronil has a great composure, but Jin thought that wasn’t all.
‘It seems that he didn’t come to the Holy Land without thinking about it at all.’
I don’t know about Octavia and Kadun, but Ronil seemed to think so. Perhaps the displeasure was all calculated.
“It is not. I don’t know if the moment comes when I can take it back by force after defeating a public enemy. As of now, it is apparently owned by Zipple. But it’s hard to bear when you treat me like you don’t even have the right to say what you know.”
“What if I don’t tolerate it, demon dragon?”
“The Heir of the Fire Dragon, Trakalnis, seems curious about that. If so, continue.”
At the mention of the name ‘Trakalnis’, Kadun’s eyes shook.
“How do you know Trakarnis…!”
“It was a fairly satisfying meal, so I remember it.”
The usual Kadun would have been furious with the momentum to kill Zephyrin at this point.
However, the fire dragon Trakalnis was the king of fire dragons before Kadun and was the most perfect creature of Shinu.
Even so, there is no history left in the world about Trakarnis, and even Kadun himself cannot easily recall his name if he is not paying attention.
The reason was no different. It was because the death of Trakalnis was the greatest ‘disgrace’ of the incarnation Shnu and the Fire Dragons.
What erased the history of Trakarnis was the will of Shenu and the old Ziple to cover up the disgrace.
‘Could it be that the one who killed Trakalnis… was that demon dragon?’
Zephyrin smiled coldly, as if seeing through Kadun’s inner self.
“Perhaps what Kadun thinks is right. If you don’t believe it, try asking Kadun’s god yourself. I’m not sure if Shinu can restore those memories…”
Kadoon avoided Zephyrin’s gaze first.
Although I didn’t recall the moment of Trakalnis’ death or any fearful memories of him. For some reason, a fear that was difficult to shake off was eroding the inside of the creepy Kadun.
-I wouldn’t have been so afraid even if I was dealing with you in your prime. The reason you don’t know me well is because I couldn’t fight you back then.
Jin was remembering what she said to Murakan the day Zephyrin’s identity was first revealed in the Black King Sanchae.
‘Kadun lowered his tail…?’
I couldn’t easily imagine their heyday just by looking at Orgal, who was carried like a sick girl, and Zephyrin, who had been shown so far.
However, it was clear that Kadun was distorted even though he said it as if he was insulting Shinu.
It was Octavia who was most shocked by Cardun’s reaction. With Kadun back, she could no longer show her anger at Zephyrin.
“It seems that Mr. Kadun’s curiosity has been resolved. Shall we go back to the main topic then?”
Zephyrin pointed at Jin with a wink.
“…The atmosphere just got worse. First of all, I didn’t bring this up with this intention, so I’d like to apologize to both sides.”
“Jin-kyung saves Ziffle’s face. It’s an important matter.”
“If you intend to continue being sarcastic like that, wake up Orgal, Zephyrin. They probably didn’t come together to have a war of nerves.”
“This is why humans are not so good. Maybe it’s because life is short, but I don’t have any fears anyway.”
“Sir Ronil.”
“Tell me, Sir Jin.”
“Hister’s survival is essential to our defeat of the common enemy. If it’s difficult to open the holy ground of Jeong Ziple, please save at least the tears of Numerus.”
“I don’t think you can add the word rad to the tears of Numerus. And we also do not own the tears of Numerus. Let’s take a look at Histor first.”
Showing the unconscious Valeria to Ziffle.
That alone made Jin feel guilty, but he had no choice but to save her.
Anyway, her appearance was already exposed to Ziffle, so there was no reason to hide it.
After going to the hospital room and examining Valeria, the heads of the Ziffle side either sighed or touched their foreheads.
Even though I already knew the information, seeing it with my own eyes was another matter.
“…I understand why you said tears first. Fatigue is an unavoidable state. Was the seal kept by Lord Jin?”
“You are amazing. You can count on the hands of people who can keep this kind of seal even on Zipple.”
“What will you do? If the Holy Land cannot be opened and there are no tears. That alone has exposed Hester to Ziffle, so it’s a loss, but I’ll bury it and take care of it.”
It was said that if the Holy Land was not opened, leave immediately.
“This is not a matter for us to decide, Sir Jin.”
“This side and Kingelo are participating in the meeting with decision makers who can make an instant decision on the spot every time.”
“I know. Right now… I will go back and tell my father about this and get an answer.”
“I hope for good news.”
“Even though everyone wants to keep Histor alive for the sake of the entire Temporary Alliance, or rather, for the sake of each individual’s own desires. You will probably need a fair reward for this, Sir Jin.”
It was three days later that the leaders of Ziple returned to Tican.
This time, without Cardun and Octavia, Ronil came alone with a few entourage.
“My father also said that there was no other way than to open the Holy Land. He said he would allow Hester to be brought to the Holy Land.”
“What are your requirements?”
“First of all, entering the Holy Land is limited to Hester alone. Second, as a reward for this work, each alliance shares some of the contents of chaos purification and control with Zipple. This must be accompanied by the presence of the Azmil contractor.”
“Reject me.”
Jin refused with a single knife, as if he had nothing more to hear.
“Um… then Hester can’t be saved.”
“I heard from Orgal that if a fully magical body goes to your holy places, some kind of magical traces will remain. He also said that just by studying the traces, Ziffle could receive a lot of rewards. You never know how much damage that research will do to us after the alliance is disbanded.”
Jin shrugged.
“Who benefits most from Heister’s injury? it’s zippy We’re all about keeping Hester alive, but Ziffle can even do research. So please don’t be greedy more. If we break down this time, I’ll leave all the talk about Heister behind. It means don’t play shallow.”
“All right. If so, we will open the Holy Land without any conditions, but you must agree to move while blocking your senses as much as possible to prevent exposing the location of the Holy Land. Also, I don’t want Jin-kyung and Heister to have another escort.”
The requirements were just words that Ronil had thrown out. It was based on the opinions of the elders of the family.
Ronil hadn’t liked their opinion.
“I understand that much. When would you like to start?”
“If it’s okay, let’s go right away.”
* * *
Jin hadn’t moved a single step in the windowless cabin since boarding the Co-Jek.
He just held onto the sealed Valeria and waited for the ship to stop.
It wasn’t until five days later that the flying ship reached its destination.
“You have worked hard, Jin-kyung. You may come out now.”
As soon as he left the flying ship, Jin could recognize that this was the inside of a huge building.
It was larger than the drying yard I had seen in the Sota Desert in the past.
Ronil’s guidance lasted about two hours. Upon reaching a door in the building, Ronil stopped.
“This is where I can guide you. After that, I won’t be able to access it, so someone else will help.”
There were only two jipples who could freely come and go through the door.
One is Californian Kellyac Ziple and the second is.
“Are you Jin Runkandel?”
It was Beradin Ziple, the next head of household.
Veradin was walking towards Jin from the other side.
The friend of the enemy who met after about 3 years gave a dry voice instead of greeting cheerfully like always.
“Follow me and I will guide you to the Holy Land.”
The back of Veradin walking ahead through the door felt infinitely unfamiliar.
A sword was visible on Veradin’s waist.
