Swordmaster’s Youngest Son - Chapter 586
Chapter 586,
Chapter 152. Quaul Ganesto (1)
Jin smiled inwardly. It was the moment when it became clear that even though he had started firing from the heavy artillery, Kwaul was not a person who could not talk at all.
Besides, isn’t it Jin’s specialty to answer questions and meet the conditions the opponent wants?
“Let’s start with the question.”
“How did you find out I was here?”
“I heard from Lord Talaris.”
“Talaris…?”
When Tingen heard her name, he tilted his head. It’s like it’s the first name you’ve ever heard.
In an instant, Jin and Siris wondered if Quaul was a different person from Tingen that Talaris had talked about, but after a while, he looked startled and said,
“ah! Talaris. Yes Talaris Kendorma!”
“Isn’t it Endorma?”
“Was it Endorma? That’s right… There was such a woman…”
Not only Jin, but also Siris couldn’t help but be amazed at Quaul’s reaction as her eyes deepened as she recalled old memories.
In particular, Siris was feeling a kind of fresh shock beyond discomfort.
Although she never wanted to, Siris saw firsthand quite a few of the many humans who had been lovers of Talaris.
Each of them was pathetically attached to their mother. In severe cases, he even joked that he would end his life if he didn’t meet him, but of course, Talaris never reached out to his exes.
Siris has even personally dealt with those who, in the most serious cases, are determined to spread excessive rumors about Thalaris or tarnish the secret palace’s image.
Siris also went to eliminate Talaris’ 307th boyfriend, Alcaro Cender, who was in Mamit when Jin was an intermediate cadet.
Jin and Siris first met there.
‘You said you didn’t even remember your mother? what kind of human Or is that even possible?’
Even if you weren’t dating, Talaris is a character that is difficult to forget once you see it.
In the first place, the general public would never see her, and the pure white silver hair and atmosphere unique to the Endorma blood family had a mystery that no one else could feel.
But it seemed that Quawl had really forgotten her. No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t just a painting pretending to be forgotten.
“…No, didn’t you already know? It was the energy of ice that blocked your shells until just now.”
The energy of full ice gave off a completely different feeling from ordinary ice barrier magic. However, Quawl clapped his hands as if he had just remembered that. There was even Mort the Blindfold.
“That’s right. Come to think of it, that friend uses the same power as Talaris Kendorma!”
“Endorma!”
Siris groaned.
Quawl continued to have sad eyes.
At this point, Siris wasn’t even angry.
“Oh Mott. It’s been a while since my friend. Then you must be her daughter. Nice to meet you. This is Tingen Bauer.”
“go away.”
“And you must be her son-in-law or future son-in-law. Come to think of it, it seems like I heard that marriage talks are going back and forth between the 12 Horseman of Runkandel and the lady of the secret palace. Is Talaris doing well?”
As Jin was deciding what to answer, Kwaul shook his head.
“No hehe! it’s okay. I am not curious about past love.”
“Haha crazy.”
Isn’t the look in his eyes too deep for such a thing… Jin wanted to say that, but he stayed quiet as he looked at Siris.
“Hmmmm, anyway, it would make sense if Talaris had pointed me to this place. I mean, I remembered this place.”
Quaul seemed to have a lot of questions about Talaris, but he held it back.
Siris stepped aside, fearing that if she watched Quaul any longer, she would draw her sword.
Jin gave Kwaul time to organize his thoughts.
A few minutes later, Kwaul’s eyes flashed with wariness again. But it was much paler than the first.
“Next question. Finding out this log cabin and the pseudonym Tingenbauer made sense. But how did you know my real name?”
“My informants found out.”
“I tell you in advance. If you play a joke or tell a lie, the conversation is over from that moment on.”
“You’re being strict.”
“Do you think that Runcandel’s information power will be superior to Zipple’s? Even though you’re still only a 12 Horseman, your intelligence is not Runcandel, but the ability of the Barmal Alliance. I don’t understand how you’ve come to know my real name.”
One piece of information was implied in Quaul’s words.
‘Didn’t Zipple know Tingen Bauer’s real name, Quaul Ganesto?’
How do you know something that even Zipple doesn’t know? Quawl was asking that.
“It was my informant who found out your real name. The family doesn’t even know you exist or that I’m looking for you.”
Valeria could not be classified as a simple informant, but in a broader sense, she could also be classified as an informant for the Bamal Alliance, so it was not a lie.
Qaul stared at Jin for a while and was silent.
“Hmm, I don’t think you’re lying.”
That long eye contact was Quaul’s way of detecting lies. There seemed to be no basis, but once it was over, there was nothing bad for Jin.
“I also have a few questions I want to ask you.”
“Do it after I finish my question.”
“Why is the engineer at Zipline, the main figure behind the development of teleportation devices and blueprints for mass-produced ships, stuck in such a remote area? I can’t even see a wizard coming out to escort you to this point.”
Quaul didn’t really hate Jin’s behavior, ignoring his words and asking questions.
He thought that this side was better than the powerful people of Zipple, who used to show a servile appearance while carefully looking at themselves.
Perhaps that small favor was the price for making Jin remember his forgotten old love, but Quawl vehemently denied that fact.
“Even those sticks that seem to have been made by you have the ability to interrupt the concentration of unmanned auras. No matter how you think about it, it’s strange that an engineer of your level is left unattended in a place like this.”
“Neglect? Did you say neglect? joy! You don’t know this body well. No one can redeem me.”
Somehow, at that point, Jin thought of a black dragon he knew well.
‘It reminds me of Murakan…’
If you put it well, it’s simple and unique. If you put it badly, it’s somewhat stupid and arrogant.
Jin hoped that Kwaul would also have that kind of element.
“You mean Ziple let you go?”
“I tried my best to like you, but you keep saying things that scratch your ego. Zipple? They were only serving me for a while because they coveted my ability. I never belonged to them.”
I seemed to know roughly.
‘Looks like Zipple isn’t taking care of this eccentric person. He’s a person who doesn’t seem to cooperate if he goes against his heart even a little, so he must have no choice but to follow his will.’
Tingen Bauer Little was known about this arrogant genius engineer.
Unless you got some of the gadgets and ship blueprints from Jindo Sota Desert and Valeria and he had nothing to do with Talaris. I probably wouldn’t have come here.
Even if it does come, it will be much later than now.
In addition, Kwaul has the ability to keep his body healthy against quite a few people, and Jiple is suffering from severe power shortages after the Sword Emperor’s Crusade.
‘But even so, the fact that Quaul Ganesto is left unattended is insufficient to explain. It must be because the surname Ganesto is not yet known to Ziffle.’
mind manipulation.
Suddenly, one of Ziple’s spells came to Jin’s mind. At least so far, it seems that Quaul has not been subjected to mind manipulation.
‘They’s mental manipulation isn’t perfect yet, so if you exclude it, it’s a little bit easier. And why was Quaul working with Zipple in the first place?’
Although he is not from the academy and his reputation is unknown, it is clear that Quaul Ganesto is a genius engineer on a different level.
So, it was quite possible that he was caught in the eyes of Ziple by chance while demonstrating his ability.
‘It’s not just a person to be embraced. If they just needed high-tech engineering equipment or resource support, they would most likely have used the academy in the first place.’
Ziple made something attractive to Kwaul.
To the extent that he trembles when it comes to redemption, and puts an enemy on the zip for a while.
Jin came to that conclusion.
“Have you been working with Zipple because there was something that appealed to you? For things like the development of teleportation devices and mass-produced warships, the desire as a pure scholar worked.”
“Think about that part as you like.”
It seemed to mean so.
Originally, upon hearing Quawl’s answer, Jin would have felt a bit blocked.
Because the Runkandel and Bamal Alliance did not have a business ready to go beyond teleportation devices and mass production ships.
But now the story is different.
There is an item that Amela affirms to be a masterpiece of ancient artifacts, and some of the ship blueprints and parts of the teleportation device are also her own.
Particularly, the parts and blueprints were clear to Quawl that they were masterpieces among masterpieces.
“I’ll ask you directly, Quaul Ganesto. Would you work with me if I could make you an offer as attractive as Zipple?”
“There’s no way that’s possible.”
“Do you want to hear the story? You said you would think about leaving the cabin if you answer the questions and meet the conditions in the first place?”
“Even though I said so, I really don’t expect it at all. If you’re thinking of moving me through torture or something, do it. If you do that, you will become sinners in the world who will lag behind the development of this world by hundreds of years.”
Jin didn’t respond to that, just took out a mechanical device from his chest and held it out to Kwaul.
“I thought you wanted to complete this thing, but I guess I was wrong.”
Then, Quawl’s eyes widened.
“What! Why do you have that!?”
Jin couldn’t help but smile once again.
