Whoa Whoa…
Jin looked up at the ice wall, catching his breath.
There was only one huge hole that was exceptionally clean and deep between the traces of disorderly destruction, as if some gigantic beast had gone on a rampage.
It was a hole formed by the beam stab that had just been opened.
Only one last of the beam thrusts he’s spread over the past two weeks has pierced the wall of ice.
The hole took the shape of a circle so perfect that it felt oddly artistic.
If you look closely at the works of great artists, you often feel like you can see the soul and tenacity exhausted until they were born.
The hole formed by Jin’s beam thrust was also the same.
Jin and Talaris, who created the result together, remained silent for a while, unable to take their eyes off the hole.
“It is complete, son-in-law. It’s only been 15 days to make a sword like this… haha I wonder what Shiron will say when he sees it. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied. Anyway, I don’t know if Chiron is doing well.”
“I don’t think it’s the first time I’ve seen someone worry about my father, Mr. Thalaris.”
“What kind of friend is that? I made a promise to your father…”
Talaris smiled bitterly.
Cool!
Jin tried to answer, but suddenly vomited blood.
“son-in-law!”
“Looks like you used too many auras and you got a shallow backwater. You don’t have to worry.”
“If your son-in-law had been as strong as your first or second sister, he wouldn’t have fallen into such a backwater. Ahaha, how weak.”
He said so, but in truth, Talaris admired Jin’s physical strength.
I just threw a prank in the sense of being alert.
“It feels like I can see a little bit of what kind of state Luna-sama is standing in.”
“If the swordsmanship of that child, Luna Runkandel, who is the white whale, is frozen in my memory, then you are already technically equal or superior.”
Jin shakes his head.
“I don’t know when Thalaris’s last memory was, but my sister must have achieved great achievements as well. I think I still have a long way to go to catch up with my sister.”
“I wouldn’t have grown as high as you. And Luna’s real strength isn’t her great body or swordsmanship. He… Hehe, what should I express? It should always be enough to have the ability to win.”
“The ability to always win…?”
“I am definitely stronger than Luna. He’s ahead of him in almost every way. Even so, if you fight Luna, you can’t be sure of victory. There’s something about your eldest sister that’s hard to describe in terms of potential or talent. Of course, they are huge too. and.”
Talaris looked back at Jin and continued to talk.
“As I was teaching you this time, I saw something similar to that child in you. I think that is the greatest blessing a martial artist can have.”
“It’s a feel-good story.”
“Also, since neither you nor Luna got it for free, there’s no reason to appreciate it even if you like it.”
Even as he was about to convey his gratitude for training, he felt a sense of popularity.
“Gongja Jin!”
It was Casimir.
As soon as he entered, he couldn’t help but be startled by the state of the ice wall.
Also, he too was briefly distracted by a single perfect trace among the destroyed ice walls.
‘Are these traces the result of training? Especially that trace… It seems that Confucius has completed a new sword.’
It is an ice wall reinforced with the power of ice caps.
Casimir had the feeling that even making a deep fissure in these ice walls would not be easy with his sword.
“Are you here, Sir Casimir?”
“Huh, I was about to send my son-in-law today. Did you come to notice that you’ve been holding on too long?”
“No, Mr. Thalaris. Confucius has come because there is a problem that needs to be checked quickly.”
When Casimir took out the turkey report and showed it to him, Jin’s eyes grew heavy.
‘A portent of purges?’
Talaris looked over the report together and snorted.
“Ahaha, Emperor bastard. When we were young, we saw Ron’s eyes like a knife. It is said that Ron has been gentle since before the Black Emperor Terror, but it is not because he is so fearless.”
In fact, the imperial family has been keeping Hiran in check since they were young until now.
And as Talaris said, as Ron became more harmful, the imperial family’s checks gradually increased in proportion to him.
Most of the time, Ron just didn’t deal with it, like a beast tolerant of unknowing, playful day puppies.
If it wasn’t going to cause a rebellion, that was the way for the empire.
All previous family heads had done that, and the imperial family knew that, so they rarely crossed the line.
But this time it crossed the line.
‘According to the report, the emperor is intentionally dropping the dragon and the dragon knight.’
The reason, of course, was to prevent the dragon knights from immediately finding Geomhwangseong when something happened in Hiran.
Although the emperor had the authority to command the dragon knights, they were the ones who would prioritize the safety of the Emperor’s Castle over the imperial order in the event of an emergency in Hiran.
Even if it means committing treason by disobeying the emperor’s orders.
Of course, we cannot be sure that there will be a purge based on this situation alone.
Just as they have always increased the level of containment at every opportunity, this time around, it may be that they are just putting on a show to show the public that the imperial family’s power is absolute, using the Black Emperor’s terror and its results as an excuse.
But Jin didn’t seem to be like that.
‘In the end, the empire decided to choose stone instead of Hiran.’
A white stone kept by the heads of Highlan.
The imperial family has long coveted the stone.
Just as Secret Palace was sealing Elona Ziple, Hiran was also handing down the white stone to future generations. So that the strongest patriarch can cut it down and get rid of it.
Jin did not know what the white stone was.
I can only guess that it probably has something to do with the chaos.
Instead, one thing was certain.
It was a fact that they clearly made a mistake.
‘Crazy guys. I don’t know how great the stone is, but you’re going to throw away the strongest samurai in the empire like this?’
Ron’s Darkness was the strongest ever in Hiran.
Although he suffered unexpected damage from this terror, as long as Ron and key personnel are in good health, the fact that Hiran is the best samurai and a prestigious family in the empire does not change.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the reason why the empire was able to enjoy the status of a third force after Runcandel and Ziple before the rise of Kingelo in the current generation was because Ron and Hiran led by him existed.
‘The reason why I asked Beradin to urge Jiple to press Hiran properly was to more clearly confirm the distinction between the vassals and the purpose of the imperial family. Judging by the way it behaves, the results have actually come out. It’s like Bement chose stone and zip over Hylan.’
One curious thing is that Ron hasn’t reacted otherwise yet.
Even though there are signs of a purge that even the seven-color informants know about.
“Huh, since there is a corner to believe in something, the imperial family must be doing something like this. I can’t feel it. Aside from asking if there is a justification for purging Hilan in the first place, how are you going to handle Ron?”
Talaris thought that even if the royal family were ‘attached to Ziple’, they would have no choice but to use the power of Ziple.
That was nothing more than advertising that the imperial family had sold the empire to Zipple.
“…I think there is a corner that believes what Talaris-sama said.”
“It makes me wonder if they are holding Dante hostage. Hehe, the son-in-law seems to be quite worried.”
“That’s right.”
“Although his dignity was damaged during the terror attack in the Imperial Palace, if he was a military man who lived in the same era, he would rather worry about the imperial family and the empire. Would you be concerned about Shiron even if Runkandel went mad as a group and threatened to purify your father?”
That’s right.
If Ron was in a normal state, Jin wouldn’t have worried at all whether the emperor tied the dragon knight’s feet or borrowed the power of Ziffle.
-I don’t know if the red sword was the problem or if there were other factors. If the day comes when you suffer an internal injury that can’t be controlled like this, I thought it would be the day you mix swords with your father… It’s amazing that you’re the head of a group known as a third-rate terrorist group a while ago.
Immediately after the terror attack, Jin heard from Ron about his internal injuries.
He never recovered from injuries sustained in the battle.
If you are a superman like Ron, it is normal to recover quickly, but the internal injuries gradually got worse as time went on.
Even Dante did not know this.
It was a story that only Ron’s five closest friends and Jean knew.
‘…Maybe the Emperor noticed Lord Lorne’s condition.’
He didn’t seem convinced yet that Ron wasn’t normal.
‘If I had fully grasped Sir Ron’s condition, I would have rushed at once instead of looking at him like this.’
Jin also did not know exactly what Ron’s current condition was. Whether Ron’s injury is at the same level as the first or worse.
That made Jin uneasy.
Ron’s still unresponsiveness (perhaps he was coping but not being informed) had something to do with his condition.
“You are right. Still, I will go to Geomhwangseong for myself.”
“Yes, yes. Go and show off your new big skill.”
“In the future, no matter who asks, I will tell you that I learned one of Runkandel’s secret tricks from Talaris. It was a glorious learning, Mr. Thalaris.”
“Anyway, it’s cute. Oh, and in case you see it. If you think something bad is going to happen to the economy, be sure to let me know too.”
“I will.”
As soon as Jin left the palace with Casimir, he immediately boarded Tikan’s gateway to the empire.
And the movement gate did not work with only a warning sound.
It was a phenomenon that appeared when the opponent’s movement gateway was closed.
