Chapter 764,
Chapter 187. People to find Unexpected Clue (5)
The reason I told Orgal about Rokia’s purpose was to see if he and Rokia were in a cooperative relationship.
‘Seeing how surprised he was, he couldn’t possibly have known about Rokia’s purpose at all? It doesn’t sound like he’s acting.’
If that’s the case, I don’t think there was a feeling that the information was given away too easily, but I couldn’t really say it was a loss.
If the two aren’t cooperative, it’s like attaching another tracker to Rokia without using the power of the Barmal Alliance.
Silence passed for a while.
Jin was convinced as he watched Orgal contemplating an answer with his mouth closed. He says he’s really taken aback by this story.
“Hey Orgal. Let’s not measure each other, let’s have an honest conversation. As you can see, it seems quite shocking to you too. I heard this from Lord Fadler.”
[…To the Blue Brain King?]
“Yes. Lord Fadler said that Rokia Ganesto was the one who betrayed the family a thousand years ago and colluded with the witch to corrupt Temar. Lord Fadler was also attacked by Rokia, and before his death Sir Fadler revealed that his purpose was to revive the sun god.”
The golden energy of the sub-space disappeared, revealing the scene of the meeting room again.
“It was said that it was Rokia who drove all the teenage knights to their deaths. Keeping only the veil alive is what he needs to achieve his purpose.”
[Then it’s strange… Now that I heard you, I can remember now.]
The manipulation of history applied to Rokia has not completely disappeared. Orgal was searching for a memory that only became clearer after hearing Jin talk about Rokia.
“Remember what?”
[Only once a thousand years ago. There was an opportunity for the sun god to be resurrected. When at last he was able to return to this world… just before that. The person I made to be erased from history…]
In an instant, Orgal’s eyes were filled with such a huge murderous intent that even Jin was startled.
[Rokia Ganesto. It was that wicked bug…! You can’t think of this until now!]
Whoa!
Gray wings spread from Orgal’s back, just like when a dragon was enraged. The entire building was shaking from the huge aura spreading from his body.
‘Oh this can’t be acting. Indeed, as Lord Fadler said, it seems that Orgaldo was beaten by Rokia a thousand years ago.’
A strong intuition came to me that maybe I could blow my nose without touching it.
[damn. Why did he get angry all of a sudden?]
Jin blocked Veil’s mouth from swearing. There was no need to say anything to Orgal, who could find Rokia on her own.
‘It’s better to dig up information about Rokia than to go to our alliance.
For now, even with Valeria’s record magic, there is a limit to finding Rokia.
When they start getting information, I just need to create a situation where they can share it one by one.’
Or, it was a good way to keep an eye on Kingelo, who was tracking Rokia. It would be much more comfortable than chasing Rokia directly.
“Calm down, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so emotional. Anyway, to put it together, you missed a crucial opportunity to resurrect the sun god because of Rokia a thousand years ago?”
In fact, the fact that Orgal was sensitive today was also the reason.
He had just been holding a meeting and recalled the memory of the ‘opportunity a thousand years ago to resurrect the sun god’.
However, I couldn’t remember how I blew that opportunity, but now I know thanks to Jin.
The fact that it was because of Rokia.
[If it wasn’t for those disgusting bugs, the world could have been made whole again a thousand years ago.]
“I don’t agree with that, but Runkandel also deserves the blood of Rokia Ganesto.”
[Should I pay for the blood? He speaks as if Rokia is still alive.]
“He is alive because my sister met me not too long ago. Can you show the record to Valeria Organ?”
The record of Rokia Ganesto’s words had already been blurred from Runtia’s subspace.
Instead, Valeria opened the log window and informed Orgal that she had looked at the log.
“The blurry sentence here said that someday, when my father returns from the Black Sea, something will happen beyond my control. These are the words Rokia said while offering her sister a contract. They said that the reason Rokia is still alive is because she received eternal life from the witch.”
Orgal calmed down little by little and regained his composure. When the anger subsided, Jin’s behavior felt strange.
‘Why is Jin Runkandel giving out information so skillfully without any payment?’
Jin seemed to be able to see his insides.
“It seems embarrassing for me to give you such high-level information so easily, but I’m just saying it because I have something to gain.”
[It seems that the records of Rokia are obscured. I think the blurred part might be the content that you are colluding with Rokia and trying to fool me.]
“Really? I’m in collusion with an unknown dark figure like Rokia… I’m sorry to say that the temporary alliance is over. Who cut off Orgal’s chest?”
[Because people can change at any time.]
“As you said, even if I colluded with Rokia, what’s the problem? If you find out and think your paranoia is true, then you can hit me. You acted like you were ready to fight with me just a little while ago.”
[Yeah… I knew what you meant. They seem to want to use me to track down Rokia.]
“It seems like we can talk a little bit now, Orgal. Even if it’s not a temporary alliance like last time, how about a temporary cooperation?”
[It’s not cooperation, it’s use. But let’s play around.]
Orgal actually had no choice.
Even if he refused, there was a high possibility that Jin would figure out the movement of the Kingelo tracking team through Valeria and Anonymous anyway.
Besides, if Rokia found Runtia again, Kingelo had no way to confirm.
There was also no reason to reject Jin unless he was on the same team as Rokia. It was because even from Orgal’s point of view, Valeria’s help could be obtained at any time as long as she found a clue about Rokia.
“Okay, I think this has been sorted out. Shall we move on to the steel trade now?”
[Last time, the king of Tikan just said nonsense and went back. He said he wanted to buy more steel for this situation.]
“I added more information about Rokia.”
Orgal laughed at Jin’s shameless voice.
[I can’t pay for that. It’s not something we’re going to waste.]
“There’s twice as much money as what we called last time.”
[Did you ever intend to buy steel?]
“Yes. Honestly, isn’t it a business that can be left even if you get money? I know it’s overflowing with rot.”
[Can you afford that money? I heard that Hufester is in the middle of rebuilding.]
“Anything as long as you don’t ask for a lump sum.”
[Sorry, but still can’t. To be honest, I thought that if you came in person, I would hear something great, but I’m disappointed. Don’t even dream of trading steel unless it’s to the extent of sharing your technological prowess.]
Since then, Jin has been acting with all his might and directing facial expressions. It was really frustrating and angry, but that expression that I would never show off.
“That goes too far. It’s more like a loss if your technology improves than if we build enough ships to increase our strength.”
Fortunately, Orgal smiled softly as if it worked well.
[You are full of confidence in your power. Do you believe in Tushin and Murakan? Anyway, the negotiations are broken.]
“I will go back. If you change your mind, feel free to contact Tikan. But then you’ll have to make a deal on worse terms.”
[There’s no such thing, so stop coming to me about steel. I’ll contact you if there’s anything special about Rokia.]
When Jin’s party left the headquarters, Chagall found Orgall.
“Captain.”
[Chagall.]
“Jean Runcandel knew Zito’s name.”
[You seem to be taken aback when he suddenly mentions Zito’s name. He has no intention of not telling you that he knows Zito. I don’t want you to be curious.]
“I thought so. But Gene Runkandel asked me about the Pandemonium.”
[Did you answer?]
“Yes, because I want to pay for the sparring.”
[I also felt that there was a commotion. I was defeated in one fell swoop.]
“It was embarrassing, but it was a great study. The answer was that there is no single demon world. Then I left after asking if the domains of control between the leader and the demon king Jito were different.”
[I see.]
“Did I make a mistake?”
[No, Jin Runkandel will soon know that much information anyway. Even if you find out, it’s not something you can respond to, so there’s nothing to worry about.]
“Okay.”
[I will write a letter now, so go to the 3rd Demon Realm and deliver it to your father. There is something that needs the help of the phantoms.]

The Red Owl’s next destination was Wantaramo Forest.
When Jin’s party appeared at the entrance of the forest, the Myoin tribe Nehru and Ruru Miru greeted the three. Valeria had sent them a letter in advance.
They need to find their forgotten friend, Leed Damiro Yul, the old butler of Runcandel.
“Did you wait long?”
[No, I only waited a week.]
“You seem to have waited a long time… I’m sorry.”
[don’t mind! I had a good time talking to Sheila-sama.]
Temar’s third tomb, where Leed was located, originally existed in the hideout of the Myoin tribe, but was destroyed by the Wraith immediately after Jin’s visit.
Therefore, Valeria decided that in order to enter the tomb where Reed is located, there must be something related to Reed, like Runtia’s subspace.
Silus, the sword of the Veil Fadler, and Sheila, Leed’s sister.
Even if you use all of those elements, if you can’t open the door to the destroyed Myoin tribe’s hideout again, finding Leed will be far away.
[Let’s go check it out. I think it will work. I picked up some of Sheila-sama’s energy and went near the destroyed hideout, and there was a strange reaction.]
Thinking of the terrible loneliness that Leedt must be experiencing, Jin moved into the forest.
