Chapter 674,
Chapter 171. Under the imperial castle… (3)
Thanks to the discovery and disposal of the tunnel of chaos under the imperial castle, the empire’s public sentiment toward Jin and Dante pierced the sky once again.
Articles about this incident were pouring in every day.
As always, there is no need for Dino Jaglan to contribute to public opinion, so praises are coming from all over the place.
In their hearts, the ministers who were dissatisfied with Dante for overwork became even more loyal to Dante.
If it wasn’t for Dante and Jean, no one would have found out about the Empire’s upside down.
Hailan 2nd Castle.
After demolition began, the empire was using this place as a temporary castle.
After the long meeting that had just ended, Dante’s office was left with Jin and his colleagues, the nameless king Oul, and the best killer Bizen.
“Sorry for the long meeting, Sir Owl.”
“No. It’s because we came too early.”
Owl said in a low voice. He looked very tired as he continued to smoke cigarettes with wide eyes.
Those gathered in the office had their eyes fixed on the black lump on the table.
Remnants of fake Jonah’s decapitation.
It wasn’t the first time Owl had seen it.
“I’m sure we assumed we’d missed Jonah, but… I didn’t expect this to end up in the Garden of Swords.”
Nameless was calling the black mass the party was looking at Yona’s ‘trace of a runaway’.
Traces of runaway began to be discovered very recently, and as the name suggests, it was a kind of chaos aggregate that remained in place whenever Jonah ended runaway.
After the subjugation of Gleeek, the chaos that Yona harbors reacts to the remnants of the creature and has been harassing her again.
As time went on, the runaway cycle became shorter and more dangerous, and now it has reached a level where it is impossible to catch Jonah even if the entire unknown clings to it.
Owl winked at him, and Bizen opened the box next to him.
Inside, there were six traces of a runaway similar to those obtained in the underground of the Hwangseong.
I had heard beforehand that there were six more, but seeing them face-to-face made the party even more distraught.
The reason for the confusion is not different.
As Valeria looked through the records of runaway tracks, the Prophet was creating a fake Jonah through those traces. through the power of chaos.
“…How many traces of runaways are there, Owl-sama, unknown?”
“At least three and at most five.”
“That means there could be more than five fakes left. In addition, in the worst case… No, with a high probability, additional congestion traces will continue to be created. we are missing.”
Owl nodded heavily.
“Is there any possibility that Yona-sama was completely captured by the Garden of Swords?”
“That will not be it. At the time you cut the fake, we were tracking down the real Jonah and fighting.”
Owl rolled up his nameless right sleeve and said.
There was a black, long cut, which was obtained while tracking down Jonah a few days ago.
No deaths were reported because the search team consisted only of Oul and the highest salvo.
Even that, if Yona had aimed at the best killers first, not Oul, Bizen would not be able to stand in this position now.
“They said they were in pain, and after they almost killed me. Right now, that child will be incomparably more dangerous than the fakes you dealt with.”
“Didn’t Sister Jonah feel like she was brainwashed by the Prophet?”
“You must have seen at least once how great the power of chaos that child possesses. Also, I had heard from Sir Shiron in the past that the child’s chaos was of a very special kind. I don’t think the Prophet can easily control that.”
“Your father said that.”
“okay. Is Lord Shiron’s expedition still out of touch?”
“That’s right.”
Owl closed his eyes once at Jin’s calm reply. He didn’t even think that Shiron and the expedition team would survive.
“As soon as Jonah’s work is over, I’ll try to send someone from unknown.”
“Thank you, Mr. Oul.”
“In any case, aside from whether it is possible for the Prophet to control Jonah’s chaos. In the first place, even if the current sword garden is great, it will be difficult to catch that child in a short period of time. However, unlike us, they will be able to generate fakes just by getting these runaway traces.”
As far as target tracking and assassination were concerned, Nameless had superior abilities to Runcandel before being stained with chaos.
Since such obscurity had not been able to capture Jonah for several years, Owl was convinced that the Prophet could not help it either.
“You said that the last place you lost your sister was Akin.”
The last place where Yona was lost in the current name is Akin Kingdom of Lutero Magic Federation.
This is where Jin got Multa’s rune and Shuziel’s magic book Jet by destroying the dark organization Tessing.
“I’m sure they’re still staying in Arkin, but the remaining search crews aren’t reporting anything. Even if they leave, the Lutero Magic Federation will be tomorrow.”
The farther Jonah’s location was from Hufester, the better.
Especially now, thanks to the temporary alliance, he was in a situation where he could get help from Zipple.
However, unlike Valeria, Jin did not want to receive help from ‘the whole Zipple’ at all.
‘Yona’s sister’s case is different from the teacher…’
Valeria is a must-have for Ziple.
That’s why he accepted Jin’s unreasonable request even after receiving the price of a trace of magical power.
But it wasn’t Jonah.
‘If possible, Jiple would like to take this opportunity to get rid of Yona’s sister.’
Right now, it’s impossible to control her even in obscurity because of the runaway, but it’s self-evident that Yona will stand by Jin’s side from the moment she becomes fine at any time.
Therefore, from Ziffle’s point of view, there was no reason to capture Jonah alive.
Even if Jin asked to be captured alive, there were plenty of reasons to refuse.
Concluding that civilians in Arkin could be harmed by the rampage, or that Jonah’s inaction made capture impossible.
Of course, the moment Jonah is killed, the alliance may threaten to destroy it.
However, that is nothing more than a swarm with the fate of the entire world at stake.
Owl was thinking the same thing.
“I have to get help from Ziffle, but I’m worried. Unlike us, they have no reason to save Jonah. However, if we do not inform Zipple, there will inevitably be a situation in which civilian damage will occur or Zipple will find a weakness, and to be honest, I feel frustrated.”
“Has Sister Yona ever caused a runaway and killed civilians…?”
Owl met Jin’s eyes at the heavy question.
“does not exist.”
“Is that true?”
“Yes, I swear no. It seems that Jonah has focused all his indiscriminate desire for murder on me and the unknown killers.”
Huu Owl let out a cigarette smoke once.
“That must be because he thought of you, Horseman of the Twelve.”
Jin sweeps his chest.
After meeting Jin, Jonah stopped killing people for no reason.
She was always wary of chaos, and her efforts were still valid.
“What would you like to do?”
Owl felt a devastated feeling when he asked the question.
The fact that he was asking Jin about ‘unnamed’ things made him feel ashamed. No matter how strong Jin is.
“Neither is full cannibalism, as it has not yet undergone body transformation and resists chaos. We need to find the purifier as soon as possible before it becomes unusable.”
“So you mean it’s better to enlist Ziffle’s help, even if you risk Jonah being eliminated?”
“yes. However, I do not intend to speak with the top leaders of the Zipline side.”
Owl’s eyes narrowed.
“then?”
“Tower Keeper Hedo and Sandra Ziple. Let’s get help from two people. Those two will probably help you find your sister without telling Zipple.”
Anyway, Hedo and Sandra had already sent a request to meet. Hedo’s sword, supposedly the entrance to the sixth tomb, had to be inspected, and to make them completely members of the Barmal Union.
Can you trust them or does Sandra Ziple have that level of authority. Owl did not add such a word to Jin.
It was because I felt like I could see the poetry of my youth in Jin.
That’s why Jin’s words were loaded with weight.
“i get it. Then, our Nameless will search Akin again from now on.”
“In addition, can you infiltrate the personnel who are not mobilized to search for sister Yona into Hufester?”
“Don’t do that. I don’t think we can maintain a position of neutrality in this situation. As of today, Mu Myung will officially belong to the Barmal Union. Since it is a matter of union, it would be right to step forward. I’ll send someone as soon as you hand over the list of rescue targets.”
“Thank you, Mr. Oul. I’ll have the red owl and my companions on standby, so please contact Tikan as soon as you find Yona-sister.”
Owl stood up and shook Jin’s hand.
“That wild little boy from a few years ago has already grown up like this and puts me under his feet. It’s something your father couldn’t accomplish, so you should be proud enough.”
“Mumyeong is just a member of the Bamal Union, and I don’t consider her to be below me. Still, I believe that you will turn a blind eye to the return of Mandokju, which was promised earlier.”
“I would do anything to save that child. It’s something I can honestly say now…”
Owl cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed.
“In fact, Jonah is our unknown youngest daughter, princess, and greatest treasure. Everyone loves Jonah, not just me. Your family, and maybe even more than you. Even if that child loses the ability to kill, that fact will never change.”
To feel it as a special confession, Oul and the unknown members have always been infinitely weak to Yona.
Because of this, everyone felt that the words were not new, but Owl continued to clear his throat.
Jonah was not aware of it, but her unconscious also considered unknown as ‘family’.
So even in the midst of being engulfed in chaos, he is only trying to cause trouble to his family. Because if it wasn’t for my family, I wouldn’t be able to forgive anyone when the condition returned.
“Sometimes there are people who seem to share more blood than flesh. To me, my colleagues and brothers from the Myungwang clan did that, and to Yona, it must be unknown. When my sister comes back, it would be nice if we could all welcome her.”
