Chapter 780,
Chapter 192. The story from three days ago (1)
The tower of stories from three days ago.
On that day, a meeting of the leaders of Ziffle was going on in the tower. Gippel is also spending a hectic day every day trying to find out the trends of Runcandel and Kingelo. However, there was a peculiar tension in the conference room.
It was because Beradin had excluded Kadun from the meeting.
“… Sogajoo, do you really intend not to call Mr. Kadun?”
said Octavia.
“Lord Soga, why don’t you call Kadun-nim right now? Kadun-nim will be very sad.”
Even Ronil, who had never vomited against Veradin’s judgment, thought his treatment was excessive this time.
When Keliac was alive, Kadun was the guardian dragon of the entire Ziffle, and was a higher-ranking being than Andre or Octavia.
Nor did Kadun do anything wrong enough to have to be excluded from the top-level meeting.
Surprisingly, since the last time he was insulted by Beradin at the meeting, Kadun hadn’t shown any anger in the meeting room. Even when unpleasant stories came and went due to Runcandel, he showed a silent appearance, killing his temper.
“Are there any issues with the progress of the meeting because of Kadun’s absence?”
Veradin had no intention of responding to the requests of the leaders.
“Sogaju, that’s not it, but… what is the reason you keep provoking Kadun-nim?”
“I didn’t call because I didn’t want to see him sitting there with a sad face like a pouting child at every meeting. It seems that it is not me who provokes the opponent, but Mr. Kadun. Does it matter if Lady Kadun expresses her displeasure in front of me?”
“Sogaju! The tower of the story of the 1st Magic Tower was originally the domain of the householder and Mr. Kadun. How would Kadun feel if we excluded even the meeting here for such trivial reasons?”
“Now is the time to look at our enemies, not the time to look at individuals.”
“Sogaju said that solidarity is important! The enemies are grouped around Jin Runkandel and Orgal, but our jiples are fighting like this. Does Master Kadun have any regrets?”
“Okay then, let’s move the conference hall right away. Can we proceed in Drakkar instead of the Tower of Stories?”
“to the end…! If it continues like this, I can’t trust Sogaju’s judgment. Unless there is a compelling reason for excluding Mr. Kadun from all important matters, not just the meeting.”
“If not?”
When Veradin asked with cold eyes, Octavia stopped talking.
“If my father did this, not me, would I be able to come out the way I am now? Ghost Captain. What if you don’t? Are you going to commit treason? Or will you not follow Kadun to the meeting? Since he also disobeyed my order, it could be considered treason.”
“What treason…!”
“The name of the head of state is absolute. Even the old ghosts who were the former heads of Runkandel seemed to follow the rules well. I have nothing to say if I am like this because my ability seems to be less than Jin, but I think many people in my family are not coming to their senses right now.”
Octavia gritted her teeth and avoided Veradin’s gaze.
‘Why the hell did that guy change like this…!’
When Veradin, who had lost all memories and was in a newborn-like state, first regained his senses, it was a joy that couldn’t have been more as a zippy.
In addition, the returned Veradin took control of the family in an instant and even gained power similar to record magic. Thanks to this, I was able to finish the battle of the busts without much damage, and I was able to fill the vacancy of Keliac a little bit.
However, in Octavia’s view, Beradin these days was going crazy.
‘Is this a side effect of the mind manipulation we’ve done? No, rather than a side effect… it feels like retaliation for mind manipulation. Mr. Kadun is the person most deeply involved in manipulating that child’s mind.’
The moment I thought about it.
Suddenly, another name flashed through Octavia’s mind. The name of the person who led Beradin’s mental manipulation more deeply than Kadun.
‘house owner…! If Beradin is going crazy and is retaliation against Lady Kadun, then she can extend her magic to the patriarch as well!’
Kellyac Zipple.
He has been unable to get out of the retaining device placed on the top floor of the Tower of Story for several years.
And there were only two people in Zipple who could freely enter and leave the top floor of the Tower of Story. Fire Dragon Kadun and Beradin Ziple.
If Beradin were to attack Kelliac’s retainer alone…
Naturally, Kelliac would not be able to counterattack.
Goosebumps ran through Octavia’s body as she remembered the sight. It was something I had never thought about until Veradin became violent.
‘If what he’s doing is really revenge and he has no intention of stopping.’
Even now, he had to dismiss Beradin. No matter how dangerous and dizzy the situation may be, the possibility of Beradin ‘killing’ Kelliac must be eliminated.
“The Wraith Captain is one of those people. How dare you speak so loudly just because you are uncomfortable with the way you treated Kadun. I must have looked very funny.”
“…I will be careful from now on, Sogaju. You seemed to be lacking.”
“I hope you are sincere. I hope you don’t make mistakes with a different mindset.”
Octavia was horrified by the feeling that Veradin was peering right into her. Perhaps Beradin had already grown so strong that neither he nor Kadun could contain them.
“Okay, let’s start the meeting. We must find a way to cut off the drones and engineers flocking to Runcandel. Too many talents have flowed into Runcandel since Valeria Heister’s existence became known to the public.”
“The people who submitted applications within the federation are almost finished with investigations. There were over 2,000 wizards and engineers, what should we do with them?”
“Ronil-nim and the Wraith Captain, please tell us your opinion.”
“It would be better to kill some and absorb the rest as an example.”
“I’d rather kill them all. Anyway, the real ones selected from among those 2,000 have already been transferred to the coalition, so the rest are virtually meaningless manpower. Better to kill and instill fear in others.”
“Both are not bad options. However, since the current situation is not good, we will hold off on punishing those suspected of transferring. Please call all those who did not make it to the Barmal Alliance into our laboratory. I will use it as a simple chore, and when the situation stabilizes, I will reconsider the disposition.”
“I will proceed like that.”
“And…”
Just as he was about to discuss his next agenda, Veradin’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
At the same time, Ronil and Octavia were also surprised and raised their senses. It was because I felt the huge and ferocious energy I was very familiar with rapidly approaching the Tower of the Story.
“It looks like Cardun-nim is trying to cross the line…”
It was Cardun’s energy. If it was just flying, the energy couldn’t be this rough. Clear intent and anger were already coloring the entire sky outside.
“Brother Ronil.”
“Yes, Lord Soga.”
“Please tell all troops waiting in the tower to immediately prepare for battle.”
Sogaju!
Octavia tried to shout that, but managed to keep her mouth shut.
‘Kadun-nim, if you do this now…!’
Even she had never expected that Kadun would come to the Tower of Story with the momentum to kill Beradin.
Octavia knows Cardun well.
In fact, it was close to a miracle that he had endured all kinds of insults from Beradin. If it was the Kadun she knew, she would have settled down with Beradin long ago.
‘First of all, I have to somehow stop Mr. Kadun. It shouldn’t happen now that Kadun-nim and Beradin are fighting!’
Cardun can be stopped somehow. If he pleaded earnestly that not fighting now was for the sake of Ziffle, Kadun would eventually stop.
Rather, the problem is Beradin. Octavia wondered if Beradin would be able to pass over Kadun, who had bared his teeth. It seemed unlikely.
‘What should I do if Beradin decides to abandon Kadun-nim and commits a crazy act of taking the lead…!’
It is not known who will win the fight. The important thing was that whichever side won, Ziple suffered irreparable damage.
When I came out, I saw Kadun descending through the clouds.
The wizards in the tower were already ready for battle and pointed their wands at Kadun. Beradin stood in the middle and glared at Kadun.
[Beradin…! Why the hell are you doing this to me? Do you really think it is okay to do this to me, the pillar of the family and the guardian dragon of your father!]
“This is the last warning, Mr. Kadun. Reap your energy now and accept the family’s oppression. What Kadun is doing now is treason.”
[Treason! It seems that this lump of blood has gone mad after all. Wizards with wands aimed at me, I’ll give them a chance. Whose orders will you follow? That crazy Sogaju has no future. I’m going to turn that guy into a handful of ashes today.]
“Ha, this is how it ends. great. From now on, the Fire Dragon Kadun is a first-class traitor to the family. Wizards of the Mage Tower will cover me.”
“Sogaju, wait a minute. Give me a chance to speak with Kadun for a moment. I’ll try drying it! I must risk my name and honor.”
“There’s no need for that, Wraith Captain. Why do you think I treat Kadun so harshly?”
“Yes, please tell me. why are you doing this Even Kadun-nim doesn’t ask.”
Octavia said almost as if she were ejaculating. It was necessary to prevent the family from splitting into two sides.
At that, Beradin turned around and pointed at the top of the Mage Tower with his finger.
“From now on, take a good look at where your father is over there. what happens.”
After that, Veradin reached out his staff, ‘Hroti’, toward Kadun.
