Chapter 790,
Chapter 195. Old Otterium (1)
Otterium.
It was the capital of Bankela five hundred years ago. At that time, after the outbreak of the Seongguk Defense War, the territory of Bankela, including Otterium, became a desolate land where no one could live.
Because of this, the Seongguk relocated the entire country to the central part of the continent, and the former site of Bankela remained unprotected.
During his days as a reserve horseman, Jin subdued Kingelo’s Dark Magic Society, which was conducting biological golem experiments in the old Otterium. It was there that he acquired the legacy of Riall Ziple and met Orgal for the first time.
In many ways, it is a land where ties and bad ties overlap.
“It’s the old Otterium…”
Jin looked out the window, retracing the communication he had with Runkandel.
Tasha was killed while dealing with the remaining demons there. At that time, thanks to the heroic activities of her and other heroes, the Allied Forces were eventually able to subdue all the remnants of the demon tribe, but in the end, they could not find the reality of the demon realm.
In the end, the battle to defend the kingdom ended with the victory of Bankela and the allied forces, and since the demons did not appear anymore, the Pandemonium Investigation Team could not complete its mission and was disbanded.
It was because the two great families had already shed too much blood. Several family heads died, and the damage to the knights and wizards was immeasurable.
“But, strangely, there is no record…”
At Jin’s words, his colleagues nodded their heads.
“That’s right, my lord. Even if the two families suffered excessive damage at the time and regarded it as a shame, there are very few records left about Otterium.”
As soon as the meeting was over, Leed ordered the butlers and writers to search through the records of the battle for the defense of the kingdom currently remaining in the Garden of Swords. However, there was no record of the location of the demon world anywhere.
“It could be because there are many records of Runkandel that have been lost due to the Battle of the Chests. However, there are no related records even in the Holy Land…”
Siris immediately went to the Holy Kingdom, but Rani also knew little about him. In other words, there are no records of both Runkandel and the Holy Kingdom.
“Even if Runcandel and Seongguk tried to hide the damage situation of the Seongguk Defense War as shameful, it is strange that there is no record like this. At the very least, they must have left records that only the head of household or the king could confirm.”
“There was external pressure not to leave records in the Holy Kingdom and Runkandel, or there was history manipulation… I guess one of the two.”
Jin judged so.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain the disappearance of the most important history of even the most important events in all of human history.
Whether it’s external pressure or history manipulation.
Of course, only Zipple could do such a thing against Runcandel and the Holy Kingdom. The records that cannot be confirmed by colleagues currently belong only to Zipple.
“Sir Tasha said at the time that Zipple wouldn’t have the strength to put pressure on Runkandel. Right after the war ended, both families suffered severe damage.”
“Then you’re leaning more towards history manipulation, Confucius.”
“yes. I can’t put pressure on them to be exposed, so I would have chosen to erase history secretly.”
“Since Sir Alpen and Sir Tasha, who were the core of the case, were killed in battle, there would have been fewer obstacles to the fabrication of history. Like Leed-sama said, they probably didn’t have the power of being that the two of you had.”
–< Three thousand and twenty-six wizards, including Elona Ziple, tried to manipulate the history of Temar Runcandel, but failed because they could not break the mighty power of existence he possessed. > Power of Existence
.
The name was first confirmed in the subspace where Temar’s third tomb, Leed, was located. Leedt predicted that if Jiple manipulated the history of the defense of the kingdom, it would have been possible because the two were absent.
“Zipple knew the information that the Pandemonium existed underground in this world. However, Shinu also said that he did not know the exact location.”
“Then, does that mean that Ziffle fabricated the history that Sir Tasha was looking for the location of the Demon Realm, but doesn’t know about the old Otterium, the location the investigation team found out at the time?”
“For now, that’s the most likely. Because Ziple was not part of Sir Tasha’s investigation team. Only Lord Tasha and the Dark Knights of the day knew about the relationship between the old Otterium and the Pandemonium.”
The puzzles were being put together one by one.
“Sanna assumed that Ziffle knew the location of the Pandemonium. However, when he started cooperating with Zipple, he didn’t know where it was. Because of this, he tries to find the entrance by destroying all the ground through the power of the jiple. And the reason Sanna didn’t connect with Orgal, who is presumed to already know the location of Pandemonium, is because they have different goals.”
“I am also organized like that, Jin. And even if Jiple knew the location of the Pandemonium, he wouldn’t be able to share it with Sanna right away. According to Shinu, Beradin and Sanna use each other. We’ll keep skipping until we skip each other, so there’s no reason to give the other what they want.”
“Beradin Sanna…”
Jin thought about the two for a moment. The reason why they suddenly came together.
“…the Holy Land. The holy ground of Ziffle is the land where the remaining energy of the sun god is left. Beradin must be trying to use the special power of the land through Sanna. It’s unlikely that Beradin became the Sun God, and it’s probably to include even the Sun God in the Demon Stone.”
For example, Beradin is using each other to resurrect the sun god, and Sanna to put the sun god in the demon stone.
That was Jin’s conclusion.
“I understand why Shinu asked for help. If either of Beradin or Sanna achieves their goal, there is no place for Shnu. In the meantime, Ziple would have judged that the core of the demon stone was my aura and Shenu’s authority, but he came up with a means to replace them.”
Looking back, at some point, Ziffle didn’t covet the power of Jin’s shadow like before.
– I will praise this ambush. However, you and your god will be the most important material for the Demon Stone, Jin Runkandel…!
-Secure Jin Runkandel, he must not be eaten by chaos!
The words spoken by Andrei Ziffle and Kelliak during the Sword Emperor’s Crusade on an uninhabited island in the past empire.
Since Jin was revealed to be the contractor, Ziple has been working hard to put the power of the shadow into the demon stone.
However, since the Battle of the Chest, it has not been shown otherwise. There must be a reason why Jin became a giant, but Jin has never felt that Ziple is aiming for his power these days.
Rather, Veradin showed confidence when revealing the Holy Land and the magic swordsman living golems.
“According to Orgal, the sun god is the beginning of this world, so it wouldn’t be strange if the sun god had a higher authority than Solderlet.”
“So, Shinu means abandoned. You don’t belong to Zipline anyway, so there’s nothing to do but throw it away.”
“First of all, it seems that all the stories we can talk about have come out. Now I will go directly to the Otterium.”
* * *
In the old Otterium, which arrived on the Red Owl, there were traces of Jin fighting the Dark Magic Society with Murakan in the past.
Suddenly, the memories of that time came to mind.
Saint Virtual Scylla, who sacrificed herself while fighting in hiding until the end to inform the subjects of the Holy Kingdom who were sacrificed in the biological golem experiment and the reality.
Jin closed his eyes for a moment to commemorate them. Colleagues who came with him followed Jin and offered a silent prayer.
“…The traces of the battle are amazing. Jin.”
Hedo looked over the spot where the Dark Magic Citadel was and said.
“No, at that time, most of the actual battles were handled by Murakan. And I assimilated with Tess and was able to generate much stronger power than before. Cold Joe pulled out a golem made using a phoenix in front of Tess.”
The ruined castle of the Dark Magic Society gave off a bleak feeling. In addition to the traces of battle, the chaos-contaminated area left by Gleec was also visible.
“This is an indirect experience of Jin’s childhood heroic story. ah! What a joy.”
“Ma’am, we’re here to work.”
“shut up! I will trace these sword marks and imagine Mr. Jin’s heroic figure, so you do the work.”
Thanks to Sandra’s immediate departure from the scene, the party was able to focus on the investigation immediately. Valeria looked at Sandra and shook her head.
Of course, Valeria came to the old Otterium to investigate the records. Hedo came along in case of an emergency, and Sandra just followed.
However, there was no description in the record window.
“Perhaps because some parts of the area have been contaminated by chaos, the records are not good. Maybe it’s because there’s no particular record. In the first place, when you were a reserve jockey, I also came here to look at the records.”
-I think it would be a good idea to acquire Liol Ziple’s spell book as soon as possible.
-Is someone else aiming for that magic book?
-okay. A wizard I’ve been keeping an eye on recently is targeting that spell book. Aria Owlheart is a human girl, and like you, she was born with a pretty special destiny.
What Misha said in the past while giving Jin information about Liol’s heritage.
As the saying goes, Valeria visited this place a few years ago to obtain Riol’s inheritance, but returned without any income.
“Seeing that even though my abilities have improved a lot since then, I can’t get any records, which means that Kingelo hasn’t visited this place recently. Or… underground. Didn’t Shinu say that the door to the demon world is underground?”
“It did.”
“If Kingelo did something very deep underground in the Otterium, it might be that the distance prevents the record from being revealed. For example, if the gate to the Demon Realm exists several li underground, you have to approach it closer.”
In record magic, the area where the event occurred is a very important factor. Relevant records cannot come out without being close to the site.
Jin pondered for a while, then came to a conclusion.
“Then I’ll have to start digging here. Until something comes out.”
