Chapter 964,
Chapter 238. Atonement and Letter (1)
Tikan Palace.
“Our Radin has finally straightened his face. Tsk, you poor fellow.”
Sandra said as she tousled Beradin’s hair.
For the past month, as Sandra said, Veradin has spent most of his day with a dark and lifeless face.
Of course, it was because of Elona and the living golems.
The holy water crown made Elona literally a monster for Kelliac. The rumor that Elona had dealt with the existing pro-Beradin faction members who rebelled against Kelliac in just one day was now known to the general public of Hufester.
In addition, Almatia and Kun, other biological golems that could not be rescued together like Betty, also became Kelliac’s weapons of war.
The biotic golems, modeled after Veradin, were originally designed to be loyal only to Veradin, but Keliac somehow made them look like Elona. Tikan now assumed that the reason was closely related to the Seongsu Hall.
That wasn’t the only thing that bothered Beradin.
Anything he did while in Zipple while his personality changed as a side effect of mind manipulation.
A war that excluded civilians, which was tantamount to a massacre, until mass production of biological golems and pointing a knife at friends who did not give up on themselves until the end.
All of those things were actually enough reasons to drive a person into the abyss to drive him crazy.
“Because there are too many things to fix to be frustrated and dented.”
“Yes, yes. I’ve never really thought of a cause like that, but compared to my time at Ziffle, I’m almost an angel here. After all, in Zipline, even if you are just breathing, you often get involved in bad things. After coming to Tikan, you learned how to think like normal people, didn’t you?”
“Like normal people…? Who is it? Where are you going?”
“Why would the same mental manipulation victims do this? If I am, is that so?”
“I see.”
Veradin was greatly influenced by Sandra.
After the side effects of mental manipulation ended, Beradin actually became a person with the same temperament as before, except for the mistakes he committed when he was insane.
However, Sandra was still unable to erase the traces of the living golem experiment even after leaving the zipline.
Even she was a victim of living golem experiments from birth, so in fact, she had never led a normal life until she came to Tikan.
But Sandra doesn’t care about those things at all. Now, as a member of Tikan, Sandra was only focused on being faithful to her duties and capturing Jin.
That was the reason why he came to see the gloomy Veradin every day. Sandra thought that just facing herself, who was also a victim of the experiment, would be of help to Veradin. Her choice was right.
“Beradin no. I guess I should be called the young master now.”
“Hasandra alone is too much, so now do we have to take this one too?”
Hedo and Veil found Beradin’s room.
“Bocchan… You can call me by my first name, Sir Hedo. Say what I did well, Bocchan.”
“Since I’m alone, it’s like having another child. It was also a pity that Lady Sandra doesn’t have a close brother.”
“Oh you have to take it. immortality. From now on, Radin will listen well. As for order priority, 1st or 2nd place is our own, 3rd place is Radin. Oh, of course, 1st and 2nd place are just divided for convenience, there is no difference. know?”
“I can’t beat him, and I can’t hit you, because his immortality is a real taboo. My life is pitiful, pitiful.”
“Even if there is no restraint, if you hit the lady, you’ll end up in my hands, Veil.”
Naturally, members of Tikan welcomed Beradin’s transfer.
Even within Runkandel, there was no opposition. The fact that Beradin was Jin’s old friend was no longer a secret, nor was it impossible.
“Hmm, by the way, I’ve been here all morning to see Jin, hey. I guess I misunderstood. Hey, the immortal redhead is in Tikan right now, right?”
“there is. They said they were going to the sword garden soon. riding the red owl It sounds like you have something to report.”
“under? Was that request intended to go to meet our selves without me? I can’t do it, so I’m going to go to the Garden of Swords.”
“Hey, I’m not following you, are you?”
“I’m going on a date, so why are you following me? Bale You are playing yourself. Then I’ll come!”
Sandra suddenly lit up and left the room in a dart.
And unfortunately, less than 10 minutes after she left, Jean, Dante, and Betty found Beradin’s room. Seeing that, Veil grabbed his stomach and laughed.
“Gong Beradin!”
“Beradin.”
“house owner!”
Dante had a big smile on his face whenever he met Veradin. It was only the third meeting after the subjugation of Jito because he was too busy with regent work and restoring the Jinma world.
Jin had met Beradin a lot more than that, but it was the first time that the atmosphere was as bright as today.
“I’m here? Betty Let’s stop calling me home. I’m not even the head of the family, and I’ve done bad things to you guys.”
“Then why don’t you call me brother? Words like father and creator don’t suit my older brother’s age.”
Betty unexpectedly agreed right away and even added half a word.
“Yes, much better.”
“Now my older brother and I have to get our people back from Zipple. Lord Elona and Almatia and Kun. Even if they have already crossed the line due to mind manipulation, they are family to us.”
Almatia and Kun don’t know, but Elona has already crossed the river of no return.
The first thing she did after being captured by Kelliac was to annihilate the pro-Beradin faction, and three cities disappeared in the process.
There were not a single survivor. Like the demons brainwashed by Jito, she had no qualms about killing innocent civilians.
Even if all the facts are revealed later and Elona regains her freedom from Seongsu-gwan again, that fact will not be a thing.
“Family….”
“Brainwashing, manipulation, whatever reason. You should be punished for killing people. After coming back to my senses… It’s just that we’re a family, so we still have to protect them. Even if everyone turns away and points fingers.”
Veradin nodded at Betty’s words.
“In addition, we must save all those who are trampled by Kelliac’s tyranny, brother. Not only ordinary people, but also the lower ends of the Federation who are used without knowing anything. Our atonement will only be paid off a little after we make the Federation a habitable place again.”
“You talk like you’re going to die when you’re done, Betty.”
“What are we going to do with our lives? Jin Kyung. I am a living golem whose consciousness is partly linked to my brother Beradin. So, everything I say now is also the will of my brother. There were too many mistakes.”
“It’s never too late to think about heavy issues like the meaning of life or death after you’ve corrected your mistakes. So don’t put yourself under too much pressure, Betty.”
“But if I don’t want to suffer from pressure, my older brother’s consciousness is more important than mine.”
“okay okay. I won’t. I’ll come to my senses and do my best, Ms. Betty. That’s what I meant from today.”
“Well thought of it, Lord Beradin. Being depressed doesn’t solve anything. Staying dark is also something that upsets me and Jin, who never let go of you.”
“Even after it’s done someday, don’t even dream of ending your life like Betty said, Beradin. Then you will be locked up in the Runkandel dungeon, where you will neither live nor die.”
Jin laughed at the words that caused goose bumps on the nape of Veradin’s neck.
“Oh, that’s scary. sleep anyway here. Take a look at it.”
Veradin held out a thick notebook.
The notebook contained the secrets of Ziple that Beradin had organized. Starting with information that only the head of household can know, the contents about the ‘holy place’ are also packed.
The Barmal Union had understood the relationship between the Holy Land and Elona to some extent. It was thanks to Valeria checking the records of Kelliac and Elona there after the explosion caused by the fire of destruction subsided.
They didn’t even find out that Elona was a monster born from the Holy Land, but they did confirm the force and material of the Holy Water Pipe.
“My memories of my days when I was crazy are not perfect, so there are parts missing in the middle. However, I clearly remember the location and structure of the Holy Land.”
“Information about the Holy Land will be the key to rescuing Sir Elona.”
The problem was her fighting power using the Holy Water Crown.
Even Jin, the spearhead, was shocked by Elona’s inaction when she fought Jito. Now Elona is in a stronger state than that.
Besides, Jin’s purpose was not to kill Elona, but to subdue her and free her from the crown of holy water, so I couldn’t come up with a sharp number right now.
‘If it’s to get rid of Sir Elona, I’ll still be able to do it anyway… But it seems that the subjugation will be a group as long as Lapla Rosa’s brothers don’t come back. Or even Luna-sister arrives at the window castle.’
Even if he managed to subdue it somehow, removing the holy water pipe without side effects was another problem.
“But Keliac isn’t stupid either, so you expected me to give you inside information about Zipple. I think I might move the Tower of Stories to the Holy Land.”
“Is that possible?”
“Now, with Ziple’s technology and the power of the Demon Stone, it’s possible. Even when I was the family head in the first place, it was a secret affair. At the time, I didn’t know the relationship between Lord Elona and the Holy Land… Kelliac probably got that information from Shenu.”
“It could be Ganestoga or a witch, not Shinu. I guess I can go through all the notes and see if there is any information I can use right away.”
As Jin answered, he heard Jet’s footsteps.
“lily! An important communication has just arrived from the Garden of Swords.”
“Important communications?”
“Yes Nari. It is said that Lord Shiron sent a letter to the Garden of Swords.”
The eyes of everyone in the room widened. It was a letter from Shiron about a month ago.
“Sir, you say you can’t know the contents until you open it yourself, so should I ask you to send the letter this way?”
“No, I will go to the Garden of Swords right now.”
