178. Deepening Concern (1)
Seongwang Rani.
After rescuing Yona and returning, Jin was able to meet the King Seong, who suddenly came to Tikan.
It was Oul who called her to Tikan, and the reason Rani complied with his request was that Nameless was now officially a member of the Barmal Union. If Oul had contacted her as an anonymous person rather than from the Bamal Alliance, Rani would not have accepted it.
“Here is the person who returned to the royal family after almost three years and left only difficult tasks while sending letters without ever showing his face?”
Rani pretended to pout.
After Jin returned to Inse, she took charge of healing Talaris, who was evacuated to the Holy Land, and looked after Valeria, who had been attacked by Runtia, but this was the first time she had ever seen Jin in person.
Jin smiled awkwardly. Even though he met someone he was happy to see after a long time, Jin couldn’t put on a good expression.
“rani.”
“no way. It’s been a while since I thought I’d play a joke, but I’m not in the mood to do that. You really don’t have to explain that you’re not sad, right?”
“of course.”
Rani patted Jin on the shoulder.
She, too, is suffering as a sage king and a major figure in the anti-chaos forces, but it hurts to think that the burden on Jin’s shoulders will be much heavier than that.
“Thank you very much, and if it wasn’t for Mr. Murakan, I would have already died and Seongguk would have been exploited all the way under the command of Ziple until now. Even now, as soon as I return, I am struggling with all my might for the world.”
“The personal history of trying to regain the family just happened that way.”
“Even so, Ayula will always bless you. So don’t worry too much about Jonah. I don’t know him well, but after hearing the story of the Lord and the Nameless King, he seemed like a good person.”
The reason Jin’s face was always dark was because of Yona.
“…okay. Sister Jonah is a really nice person.”
He was overjoyed that he had rescued Jonah safely.
During the rescue process, there was no fatal damage to the friendly camp, and Jonah’s body, which Jin was most concerned about, had not been transformed, and he even came to the King in preparation for problems that may arise during chaos purification.
But Jonah’s chaos was not cleansed.
“Even though the chaos hasn’t been completely cleansed like the others, it’s still possible to prevent it from running rampant like before.”
As he said, it wasn’t that the purifier had no effect on Jonah.
It was impossible to purify, but Jonah’s chaos has now entered the same ‘stable state’ as before.
Just like when Jonah overcame chaos on his own in the midst of Gleeek’s power stimulating him.
It was because the chaos Jonah had was so huge. Boras’ purifier had limitations in getting involved in the chaos.
‘It’s probably a case similar to the situation of me and Ringling in the past…’ It would be
better if Yona’s chaos was annoying like Ringling, but separated from her as a little cute and useful being, but half were currently in Lapla Rosa.
Even if Ban went out on his own, there was no guarantee that they would be able to separate just like in Ringling, so it was frustrating.
But you shouldn’t be worrying about it all the time.
In any case, it was true that the situation with Jonah was incomparably better than before.
“Thank you Rani. I was thinking too much of myself. The Holy King has come in person, but there is no Murakan to hand over, so what should I do with this?”
As soon as she arrived in Tikan, Rani looked at Yona and asked her colleagues how Murakan was doing.
“It is unfortunate. To be acting as a substitute for Solderlet’s substitute… It seems like something great and sloppy, so he’s getting along with Mr. Murakan.”
The recovery of Talaris is the most important situation for Murakan to return. Because of Talaris’ injury, Misha is handling Elona’s seal.
“I have something to tell you about the queen.”
“Is this a bad story?”
“It’s something I can’t say good about. It’s not that there’s a problem with the recovery of the vigilante. However, the reason her recovery is being delayed is that I have less and less time to take care of her.”
“The Holy Kingdom has another problem…”
Rani nodded.
“Yes, the holy relics of the demons kept by our holy kingdom. Zito’s eyes have been bouncing lately.”
“Zito’s eyes?”
Five hundred years ago, when demons invaded Bankela, the battle to defend the kingdom was a famous war.
However, it was not only the subjects of the Holy Land that the saints of Vankela, Runcandel, and Ziple joined forces to protect.
“The name Zito is probably unfamiliar to you. He has never been active in the human world, and few people know his name even in the demon realm. Even after I became the Holy King, I couldn’t confirm the record of Jito’s eyes.”
“Isn’t it that you, the Holy King, couldn’t read the records about that thing?”
“That’s right. I recently learned that Jito’s Eye exists in the Holy Land and that it bodes badly. Ayula warned me through a dream.”
Recalling the dream she had a few days ago, Rani trembled in agony.
“What Ayula showed me was the future of Jito’s second coming through that object. The whole world burned, and it included the deaths of you, Murakan, and other beings who could be called guardians of the public.”
If anyone else was saying this, I’d dismiss it as nonsense, but Rani was a holy king. There was no way she couldn’t tell the difference between a mere nightmare and Ayula’s warning.
“It’s hard to deal with Rosa, but you mean that a new formidable enemy might appear?”
“To prevent that from happening, I am controlling Zito’s eyes according to Ayula-sama’s warning. Almost all of the divine power is used for that task, so the treatment of the non-patriarch is being delayed.”
“Have you heard anything about why Zito’s eyes started showing abnormalities? Was it influenced by the remnants of chaos left by Gleec?”
“You didn’t say anything special about him. But I have a guess.”
“I also have one that comes to mind.”
by Kingelo.
They were the only ones running demons in the current royal family. Kingelo had previously had high-ranking demons like Bianca, and while Jin had been to Lapra Rosa, he had recruited more powerful demons.
“I heard that Orgal, the demon king who turned out to be the leader of Kingelo, is one of the rulers of the Pandemonium. I think he must have something to do with this incident.”
“It is a matter of course. In the first place, the fact that they keep attracting demons to Kingelo is probably possible because they have built something like a passage to the Pandemonium somewhere.”
“It is said that the demon society completely collapsed after the Great War, but it must be as you said. Even if it’s not from an external dimension, it could be bringing demons through rituals such as summoning.”
“It’s a summons…”
-Yes Ranke Halowice. One grit is worth looking at. Anyway, according to your explanation, the reason why the Great Desert became like this is because after it was polluted, all forces used it as an experimental treatment plant. You mean you just liked this place and used it as a playground?
-Yes…
-I understand the first one, but the second one is not enough. You bastard was trying to do something here.
-It’s just… I just like this place.
The conversation we had after defeating Ranke as soon as we came out as royalties.
Even then, Jin thought that Ranke didn’t just see the Great Desert as a playground, but after talking with Rani, he felt even more suspicious.
“In the first place, during the Seongguk Crisis, Kingelo must have tried to find Jito’s eyes along with the living body experiment.”
“I think so too. At that time, I was only conscious of the living golem experiment, but I’m sure Kingelo’s real purpose was Zito’s eyes.”
“Is there anything wrong with holding on to Jito’s eyes with your holy power so that he doesn’t get any more problems?”
“For now, yes. However, there are no examples of this kind of problem, and the information Ayula gave is too limited…” If Murakan
were here, he would have asked why that bastard Ayula warned vaguely.
Lani laughed at the sudden appearance, then pondered for a moment whether it was blasphemy.
“Then it’s not a very urgent problem, but it’s a bomb that doesn’t know when it will explode. Ayula, a newcomer who is originally extremely reluctant to get involved in royalties, is to the extent of giving a direct warning, so there is a high possibility that there will be no answer if it explodes.”
“Perhaps it will be all right until Ayula reappears and tells us.”
“I had something to go to Kingelo right now, but I need to get permission from you.”
“Permission?”
“Is it okay if I open the organ while directly referring to Jito’s eyes?”
“of course.”
“Okay, let’s harvest and share information about Zito’s eyes, whatever from Kingelo.”
“They say they want Lord Bale, but are they willing to give the information away?”
“Even if you mention Jito’s eyes clearly, if you pretend not to know or don’t say anything, that’s enough. It means that it is information to the extent that you should never divulge it.”
“That is also true. I think you’re going right now, but would you like to have a cup of tea with me? I didn’t have a space traveler like the Red Owl, so I came on a regular ship.”
“Of course it should. I will send the space transfer ship to the Holy Land when mass production becomes possible later.”
“Oh, so you get another promise. I’m grateful, so I, the customer with tea, will pick it up myself!”

Kingelo New Headquarters.
They were going to be excited about the fact that they could finally see the traces of life they had longed for today…
Unfortunately, Bale had already signed a contract with Sandra, so the joy was halved.
Orgal did not hide his regret even though Jin was in front of him.
[You really already signed a contract with Sandra Ziple…. It was hard to believe even after hearing it.]
“I’m sorry to hear such a disappointing voice. Orgal what to do It happened as soon as the seal on the veil was lifted. Anyway, I kept my promise. There was no private conversation between Bale and you in the content, so it would be better if all conversations took place where I listened.”
[Whoa, that doesn’t matter. Cough…]
“I’m glad. And there is something I want to ask you.”
[What is it?]
“What do you guys think of Demon King Jito?”
At Jin’s sudden question, Orgal let out a continuous cough.
Fortunately, it seemed to have improved a little, so there wasn’t as much blood coming out as before.
