Swordmaster’s Youngest Son - Chapter 367

Chapter 367 Chapter

111. Trace (7)

A long time passed, and Valeria continued to emit heat.

There was no trace of the dye left in her hair. Hot steam rose from the sweaty robe, and the red hair fluttering with magic looked like a single flame.

[It’s Hester’s bloodline. Where did you meet that child?]

“We met in the lawless city of Mamit.”

She didn’t go into details, but Sheila seemed less curious.

Sheila’s eyes widened.

[Fortunately, he’s a strong enough child that you don’t have to protect him. But human beings, as well as all living things, eventually have to live by protecting each other. There is no life that can live alone.]

It was a sudden story, but Jin nodded. I didn’t like Sheila’s words.

[While my friend and your friend are having a hard time, it would be good for us to think about variables.]

“Aside from the visit of the wizards of Zipple, are there other problems you have in mind?”

[This is the land of Bement. Some of my own people might be colluding with them as well.]

“Well, I don’t think that the split fragments of absolute power went to just one Mayla. Bementra… It’s a story with plenty of potential.”

[Also, there may be people attached to you Runkandel.]

“I hope it’s not the only one. It’s already mind-blowing enough to be able to deal with both factions together. For now, it’s better to assume that Zipple and Bement will definitely meet.”

Bement is looking for Temar’s body. Recalling that fact, Jin said.

‘There is a close to 100% chance that there is a Beament and a snitch among the descendants of the fairies.’

It reminded me of the stories of former emperors and ministers that Casimir had overheard when he was young. It came to my mind that what they talked about about negotiations with the Wantaramo Forest might be about an infiltrator.

‘Perhaps the reason why Bement started looking for Temar’s body… might be because an informant descended from the fairies leaked information about his tomb in the first place.’

If not, I also thought that Bement could not be looking for the tomb of Temar, who did not even know of the existence of Runkandel except for Shiron, Rosa, and a few of the main axis elders (even this is speculation).

“Bement will send a special lease or SS. A large-scale troop movement is just like advertising to the outside that there is something in Wantaramo Forest.”

You might run into a familiar face.

Thinking so, Jin shrugged his shoulders.

[Special Forces and SS. Are they stronger than you?]

I was able to answer without hesitation.

“The captains might be stronger than me. But I can handle anything less than that.”

It was an analogy based on the special task leader Ratsu and the former leader Alisa, whom he had met in person as a reserve jockey.

[How many captains are there?]

“Four. Not all of them will come.”

Guard Commander, Unit Commander, Special Assignment Commander, Unit Commander. If all four of them came together, it would be too much for Luna, not Jin.

“How much fighting power does Sheila have?”

It felt strange to ask such a question to the king of the descendants of the fairies.

But it was something you should be aware of in advance. It’s only natural that we need to know the strength of our allies.

‘You may have to battle not only Ziffle and Bement, but also the guardian of the fourth tomb.’

Guardian Zipple Beament.

Whichever side you fight first, you have to leave enough stamina to fight the last opponent.

Of course, it would be perfect if there were no guardians like the third tomb, but it was necessary to assume a number of worse cases.

[Well, it’s been so long since I’ve done fighting, so I’m not sure. Just know that it’s not very weak.]

“Could you be more specific?”

Then Sheila folded her arms and closed her eyes, as if worried.

[…I really don’t know. Even when my own people kill intruders, I rarely use my strength.]

“Okay.”

It seemed that she had to fight as if she wasn’t there. Suddenly, Jin felt sorry for not bringing Murakan.

There were two reasons for leaving him.

First, the intention to make Bellop assist in the undercover mission (the problem could really escalate if it was revealed that Bellop was doing the mission for her right after the meeting), and the second was that Valeria hadn’t met Murakan yet.

Even though the relationship was better than before, it was still burdensome to face Valeria with a powerful colleague. It might stimulate her vigilance again, which she had worked so hard to loosen up a little.

‘If the situation goes too far, I’ll have to make a three-way battle.’

I drew a rough picture, but there were too many variables.

I wonder which of the enemies I will encounter first, and if it’s right to visit the tomb first without sorting them out, then if a situation arises where I have to retreat after telling the location only, it’ll be difficult… While thinking about it, Sheila opened her mouth

.

[Gene Runkandel.]

“Yes.”

[I have to tell you one thing, but the battle must be done only in a line where the forest is not damaged to the extent that it cannot be reproduced.] The

Wantaramo Forest was a ‘public good’ for those who stood at the pinnacle of power. Because all of them are consumers of Gawangju.

It was not for nothing that Jin and his colleagues were unaware of the existence of Wantaramo Forest. It was the result of the pinnacles of power thoroughly hiding it so that there would be no problems in Wantaramo Forest.

If the forest is damaged, the vertices will surely find out who was at fault and receive a fair compensation from the party most responsible for it.

shit.

Jin smiled.

‘Then, whether it’s individual breaking or a three-way battle. I have an overwhelming advantage.’

Melee with limited destruction.

Due to the nature of the power called spirituality, there was no composition in which Jin could be more active.

“All right. For me, that way is better.”

[Then, fortunately. Even after a thousand years, the influence of your ancestors makes the world shake up.]

“You seem to know my ancestors well.”

[I don’t remember much in detail. You’d know, having looked back at past tombs, but the Runkandel of those days had been largely forgotten. However, even then, I clearly remember that each and every one of Temar’s actions had a vast influence on the world.]

Sheila met Jin’s eyes.

[Now you will have to take the place of his shadow. Or cast a new shadow called Runcandel on the world.]

It was then that the Myomen and Valeria finished their work.

[Whoa!]

[Finished…!]

An hour and thirty minutes.

The Myoin tribe couldn’t believe the fact that they had made a passage leading to the Red Lake and a trap passage to disturb the Ziple.

Dozens of purple entrances they made shimmered on the cave walls. Only one of them was a real passage leading to the Red Lake, and the rest were fake leading out into the middle of the forest.

[The entrance changes randomly every time you use it. Unless the wizards in Zipple are extremely lucky and made up of bad brains, they won’t be able to get the right answer right away.]

If there were ten doors to choose from, it was only natural to divide them up. Unless, as Lulu said, they were incredibly stupid.

Chalbang!

Jin handed Valeria a canteen. As soon as she received the canteen, she gulped down as if her throat was burning.

“Jin Runkandel, take a moment to clear up your magic and let’s go. Because it seems like I’ve earned that much leeway.”

Ruru and Miru raised their thumbs as they saw Valeria sitting still and stabilizing her mana.

[Thanks to him, I saved my life.]

[I was able to leave half of it!]

Ruru and Miru smiled as they showed the cat god’s claws.

Stagger!

When Valeria stood up, Jin supported her.

“Are you okay?”

“I was just dizzy for a moment.”

He did not add that he had done more than expected to protect half of the Myoin tribe.

It was an act that even Valeria herself could not understand.

It was a matter of efficiency when he first set out to help them, but using more power than necessary for the Myoin tribe was just an impulse.

“You can rest for another ten minutes.”

“You don’t have to. I know my body Keep the promise you made when you came.”

Unlike when he said he would help the Myoin tribe, his tone was rather sharp.

Valeria feared that she had become strangely dull after meeting Jean.

-The other day, you said you got the recording device from the hideout of the fairies… Actually, it was the tomb of the first head of Runcandel?

-The tomb of the first head of Runcandel was in the hideout of the fairies.

-You’re kidding.

-We are in the stage of getting to know each other, aren’t we mutual? There must have been a lot of things you didn’t tell me either. No, he must be hiding a lot of things that are incomparable to me. I’ve talked about Temar’s grave, so my secret is almost over.

– What good. I don’t think you cheated on me. Hearing the description of Temar’s Tomb, I know how embarrassed you must have been when you obtained the Aura Orb of Heluram from Joshua Runkandel’s villa.

-It was more embarrassing when you looked at the aura orb and misunderstood me.

-Anyway, I need to get a clue about Temar’s fourth tomb from the Myoin tribe… If you find the fourth tomb in the future, let me take a look at it. Is it possible?

-Do it. promise

I remembered the conversation Valeria had with Jin on her way to Wantaramo Forest. The promise she spoke meant entering Temar’s tomb together.

‘It’s only been a few hours since I had that conversation with Gene Runkandel, but I never thought I’d find the fourth tomb so quickly. I thought it would take at least a few months to save the Myoin tribe and listen to clues from them.’

Can we find new traces of our ancestors in the tomb?

Alone with no one.

Tracking down the messages left by the ancestors and retrieving Heister’s magic was an incredibly lonely task indeed.

I didn’t even know that it was lonely at some point. The life of a human named Valeria was simply to practice magic when she opened her eyes and wander the world in search of the messages and legacy of her ancestors.

But not so easily.

If someone other than himself expects a new discovery about Heister and even encounters the traces of his ancestors.

Wouldn’t the dark and cold times of the past become futile struggles?

Because of that thought, my tone became sharper without my knowledge.

“…I was a little sensitive.”

“It must have been difficult. I didn’t feel bad, so there’s no need to apologize.”

Valeria’s eyebrows trembled slightly.

“Now we have to enter the aisle. Wouldn’t it be okay to provide support until you reach the red lake? If you don’t like this, tell me.”

Jin said while accepting the canteen from Valeria.
