Chapter 787,
Chapter 194. Unexpected Encounter (1)
Keliac’s errand boy who showed Jet the Seal of Fire revealed his name as ‘Pie’ and it was a dragon.
A young dragon that is no different from a baby to dragons that are barely over a hundred years old. Pi, who transformed into a human, looked younger than Latri.
He was also doing a very dirty look. The hood that covered the whole body was literally rags, and soot was smeared all over the face.
Hurry up.
The party stared at the pie as it was stuffing food greedily.
He looked like a beggar after starving for several days without fail, but Pie’s behavior did not just mean a difficult situation.
Jin and his colleagues sensed the smell of burns and blood from him. The smell of the battlefield cannot be masked even by the fragrant smell of freshly made hot soup and latri cookies.
It was strange.
Dragons of the Pi age have not very high fighting power. It was a difficult age for him to survive without being protected by other dragons, as he was no different from a baby compared to a human.
Because of this, Quikantel and Latri felt bad just by looking at the pie. Even though they are enemies, they are carrying out a dangerous order for a young dragon who should of course be protected.
“Whoa, well done! I think I’ll live for a while…!”
Said Pi, clearing the last plate.
“If it’s not enough, tell me and I’ll give you more food.”
Being conscious of Quikantel and Latri, Jin was treating Pi in a non-overbearing manner.
“No, that’s enough. I didn’t know you would treat me like this, thank you so much.”
Pai was taking a low profile to the extent that he wondered if the members of Tikan had deliberately sent a nice young dragon to make them feel weak.
“Now then, let’s talk about why you came to us.”
YuRia stepped forward.
“From now on, I will verify that everything you say is true with the power of my eyes. I hope you don’t feel offended.”
“Sure, of course. First of all, I have come to negotiate with you, following the will of Lord Shinu and Lord Kelliac.”
An unexpected name came out of the chojang.
“…Shnu?”
“Yes Sir Jin. Lord Shinu wants Sir Jin to help Sir Kelliac now.”
“Because it’s help, I need to know the situation before I hear what kind of help I need. Why was Kelliac attacked by Beradin at the Tower of Stories?”
“Treason. Sir Kelliac has now been purged because he was unfairly accused of coveting the power of the evil spirits. Beradin Ziple committed treason to devour the family.”
A blue string appeared between Pi and YuRia’s gaze. It was the truth.
“Why did Beradin commit treason?”
“Shinnu and Lord Kelliac assume that this is a side effect of the mind manipulation experiment.”
“I would like to hear a little more detail. Why did Kelliac mentally manipulate Beradin and what was the result he was trying to achieve?”
Pi was not taken aback, as if he expected that question to come.
“Sir Kelliac wanted to become the new god of fire through Beradin Ziple.”
“…what?”
“For some reason, Shinu-nim is slowly disappearing. Because of this, Shinu-sama gave Kelliak-sama the task of becoming the second god of fire, and all the experiments conducted on Beradin Ziple were aimed at realizing that.”
A blue string was forming that continued to inform the truth.
There was a moment of silence at the unexpected and shocking story.
“You will be embarrassed. But it’s all true. The reason why everyone other than Lord Kelliak was able to use the power of Lord Shinu was because Lord Shinu’s power, which was fragmented in extinction, was given to them. People like Beradin Ziple and Midor Elner.”
“How can Kelliac become a fire god through Beradin?”
“Sorry, I don’t know the details. It’s just that if you use Beradin as a vessel for a demon stone, it’s possible…”
A vessel for a demon stone.
As soon as he heard that, Jin remembered the fact that Beradin signed a contract with ‘Two Gods’. Ithelmion, the god of water, and Rikta, the god of the earth.
It is an established theory in the magical world that it is impossible for one human being to receive a contract from two gods.
At the end of the reserve rider, Jin found out that Veradin had signed a contract with the two gods and questioned him, but did not question him.
-Aren’t you asking anyway?
-what.
– How I made a contract with two gods.
– The potential you have must be that great. And do you feel like asking such a thing? In this situation.
It was because the situation was urgent at the time and he thought that Berardin would not know the reason. If Beradin had known why he was able to sign a contract with the two gods, he would have told me on his own.
‘The demon stone is an object that holds the power of all gods… And Kelliac has been experimenting with Beradin to become a key material for the demon stone!’
If Beradin had the properties of a demon stone, the simultaneous contracts with Itelmion and Rikta could be explained.
“…Shnu Kellyak and Zipple. No matter how you think about it, they’re all crazy people. Even a young dragon like you would casually tell such a terrible story. Pi-Nun is now saying that humans used humans as fathers and children as test subjects. But do you not feel anything?”
said Quikantel indignantly. It pained her to see the young dragon with an insensitive face as she told her terrible story.
“I’m not sure what you’re saying you should feel… is that a problem?”
“I’m going crazy.”
“Anyway, if you put your words together, this is it. Shinu and Kelliac tried to create a demon stone and a new god of fire through Beradin, and from a certain point on, Veradin did not obey and instead purged Kelliac.”
“you’re right.”
“According to your words, Shinu and Keliac assume that Veradin’s betrayal was either a side effect of an experiment or personal revenge. But Sanna’s story is missing.”
“Ah, you mean the Sun Shaman.”
“Is it Shenu who saved Keliac from the threat of death in the Tower of Stories?”
According to the records Sanna manipulated, Rokia Ganesto saved Kelliac.
Pai nodded.
“Yes, Shinu-nim saved it.”
Jin did not tell Pi that Sanna had tampered with the record. It wasn’t that the possibility that Sanna had a working relationship with Shinu Kelliak wasn’t entirely out of the question.
“Since when did he start working with Zipple? Now, it seemed like they were collaborating with Beradin, but did Shinu and Keliac get stabbed in the back? As you said at the beginning, Sanna said Kelliac coveted the power of the evil spirits.”
“It is as you see it. I heard that the Sun Shaman began to cooperate with the family after the Battle of the Chests. The shaman approached the family saying that she could heal Sir Kelliac.”
“Did you mean that Shinu and Kelliak accepted it meekly?”
“I don’t even know the details. However, given the circumstances, I think it could not have been helped. Anyway, the shaman stood by as Beradin attacked Lord Kelliac. Perhaps Beradin’s betrayal was the result of the shrine maiden’s instigation.”
Since I wasn’t talking directly to Sheenuna or Kelliac, the information I could hear from Pi was limited.
Also, even if Pi’s story was verified by the Power of Truth, not all of it could be believed. It’s because what Yuria is checking is whether Pi is lying.
‘Pai is obviously speaking what he knows. However, some of the information Shinu and Kelliac gave to Pi must be fake.’
The fact that Beradin framed Keliac and that Shenu is disappearing is highly likely to be true.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for Pie to come to Tikan for negotiations. Since it’s a play to catch the Barmal Alliance off guard, it’s too much to run Kelliac out of control and purge it.
Also, Jin felt that Shinu and Keliac were in a corner right now.
“Now, Shnu and Kelliac, tell me what you want from me.”
“Yes sir Jin. You two want Sir Jin to heal Sir Kelliac.”
“What is the price?”
“Jin said he would tell you many secrets of Zipple that you might be curious about. He also said he would remove the pact between Zipple and Runkandel a thousand years ago.”
food.
At that, Jin let out a laugh.
“You just throw it. I don’t think I said it because I really thought I would accept the offer. isn’t it? Besides, his chaos is not even at the level that I can do with the purifier I have.”
“Shnu-sama said that it would be possible if the purifier was improved someday.”
“Even so, there is no reason for me to heal Kelliac. It seems that the situation is not good enough to come to Tikan and propose this kind of negotiation, but it is rather a slope for me. If left alone, Kelliac will be finished.”
“But breaking the oath and learning Zipple’s secret is definitely a big help to Jin as well…”
“The oath is already being resolved on its own, and I’m not interested in Zipple’s secret. Rather, I don’t know if it’s information about Sanna or Rokia Ganesto of the Sun God.”
Pai couldn’t say anything more and seemed hesitant.
“To be more precise, I have no intention of helping Kelliac at any cost. I think Shinu and Kelliac expected my answer as well. where is he now?”
“He is in Shinu’s realm, the land of fire.”
“Then bring either Shinu or Keliac directly to me, or arrange for us to go there. The conversation will resume then. If I send you in your place just to test me out, then tell me you won’t listen to me at all. Just go back.”
“Wait a minute! Jin Kyung. Aww.”
Suddenly, sparks formed in Pi’s eyes as he urgently called for Jin.
And all of a sudden, the colleagues felt a tremendous energy spread through the hall. The aura of a transcendent being, not just a ‘strong man’, was spreading.
The colleagues flinched and took a step back, and Jin grinned and looked up at the floating pie in the air.
“also. I’ve been listening. Shhnu. If you wanted something from me, you should have made the procession like this a long time ago.”
Shinu, the god of fire, incarnated through Pi.
