Swordmaster’s Youngest Son - Chapter 776
Chapter 776,
Chapter 190. Legendary Site of Maliette Hester (6)
Jean and Valeria were walking on the beach.
The sea surrounding Honka Island outside the lore ground was dyed by the sunset, and jewels shining red overflowed with each wave.
-[I’ve never seen it before, but the evening night view of the island. I heard it’s good. Successors go out and wait for some fresh air. It’s messy here.]
These were the words the golem said shortly after the rock-paper-scissors test. It was because Jen and Theben made a fuss about things that needed to be fixed before giving them the communications device.
Neither of them hated taking an unexpected walk for that reason.
Two people’s footprints were hanging out on the wet sand. The pleasant smell of the sea tickled the tips of their noses, and a cool breeze blew their hair.
“Shall I soak up to my ankles?”
Surprisingly, these were the words Valeria said while taking off her shoes. Jin nodded and stepped barefoot on the crashing waves.
Walking together like this reminded me of the good times in my previous life.
Sometimes as a teacher and disciple, sometimes as a friend, and sometimes as a closer feeling than that, the days when we wandered around the world.
However, looking back, even then, there was solitude that was not shown to each other in each heart.
Jin was full of vengeance against the family and the desire for success that came from it, and Valeria sometimes acted like someone who would leave at any time because of Hester’s mission.
Because neither of them wanted to get hurt.
Jean was banished and lost Gilly, and Valeria lost her gray owl when she was young. The two of them didn’t want to give their hearts too deeply to anyone anymore in the memory of losing their family.
But not now. The two were completely open to each other and were walking together.
“I think I often feel these days that I feel good. I forgot about it for a long time until I met you and the other colleagues.”
“Because for you, revenge against Ziple and your mission as a hitter would have been everything.”
“Of course, even now they are the most important part of my life. I just feel that I am not alone in the world. If I had walked while watching this beautiful scenery alone, I wouldn’t have felt as good as I do now. I think it would have been rather lonely.”
Valeria had many such moments. While wandering the world as a fugitive from a young age, she often explored all kinds of mysterious spaces untouched by humans.
However, I have never been so moved by any minister as I am now. No matter how beautiful the place was, it was no different from the achromatic landscape.
I had never seen such an honest side of Valeria in my previous life. Jin felt itchy for some reason, so he looked away for a while.
“He has grown up a lot. Thinking of the time from when we first met in Mamit until we settled down in Tikan.”
“Let’s say I was a teenager. I feel a little embarrassed when I think of myself.”
“Are you going to give your other colleagues more than before?”
“I intend to try. My co-workers already cared about me, even when I first came and was uncooperative every time.”
“okay? How are you going to try? Can you really do it?”
“Stop playing around.”
“I get it.”
Small crabs were scattering underfoot. The two of them sat and watched for a while, and also stared blankly at the sun sinking little by little into the sea.
“jin.”
“huh.”
“There are times when meeting you feels like destiny.”
Jin almost cleared his throat at the unexpected story.
“…fate?”
“I said your name as soon as I saw you at Mamit. I remember?”
“I remember.”
“At that time, you were already famous because of the Seongguk incident, so even if I called you by name as if I knew you first, you didn’t seem to be taken aback. But I actually saw you before you were known to the world.”
“…was looking at me?”
“I had a dream. I have dreamed of you appearing almost every day since sometime.”
Are you going to stay down like that?
go away.
It’s pathetic. Jin Your proud brothers will like it.
what are you how do you know my name
Looking at the remaining questions, I still have lingering attachments to the world. I’ll forgive you for pointing a knife at the neck of the person who followed you and reached out to you.
As Valeria explained the dream, Jean’s eyes widened.
“Dreams like that… you kept dreaming?”
The dream was exactly the same as when Jin first met Valeria in his previous life.
“Furthermore, among the records I found in the lore of the past, there were also records indicating the future at the time that people who sought me in 1795 and 1799 would find Mamit. He was you too.”
“A record that informs the future? Is that possible?”
“If it’s a perfect level of record magic, it’s limited, but it’s possible. However, unlike Azmil’s foreknowledge, peeking at future records in advance does not determine the future. Even if I knew the record, if I hadn’t waited for you at Mamit, we wouldn’t have met.”
Jin couldn’t help but be more and more shocked.
It was because, according to Valeria’s words, there was a record that surpassed one’s return. Valeria’s dream is a record of the previous life, and Jin’s visit to Mamit is a record of the present.
“You seem very surprised.”
“It has to be.”
“I was thinking that all of those dreams and records of the future were the arrangements and destiny left by my ancestors. Perhaps the records of the future that the ancestors saw said that I needed you to reach the end of my mission.”
Finding clues about the Hester family’s root fairies and meeting Leedt would have been impossible without Jin.
“And sometimes since I met you. I also got the feeling that you know me well.”
– Steamed lamb and beef intestine stew with lots of peppers and onions. This is a bit of pepper. And…
before going to Wantaramo Forest together, the food Jin ordered at the restaurant was the gray owls’ favorite food. Naturally, it was also the food that Jin and Valeria often ate together in their previous lives.
It’s a common combination, but it was definitely strange that Jin ordered the same food down to the smallest detail.
Valeria stopped walking and looked back at Jin.
“jin. Do you have any secrets too?”
Thinking about how to answer, Jin met her eyes.
But Valeria didn’t ask to hear an answer. She recalled the record that Jin had ‘died once’.
“I’m sure that whatever the secret is, it won’t harm me or the world.”
“Valeria.”
“And I guess one day I will go through all the records about you. Even if you’re a little embarrassed at that time, I hope you don’t reject my magic.”
The sunset was coming to an end.
Valeria was smiling broadly, drenched in the sun’s final red light.
Seeing that, Jin forgot all the stories he had just heard.
He forgot to even breathe and couldn’t take his eyes off Valeria. The smell of the sea in her hair became clearer and made her head dizzy, and in front of her eyes, all outlines except for Valeria’s figure were blurred.
I took a step closer to Valeria. Two steps, three steps, so close that my nose would touch.
Valeria spread her arms and hugged Jean. Their cheeks were hot enough to melt. The sun had just set and a calm darkness fell over the island.
“…It’s nice to meet you Jin.”
“me too.”
For some reason, Jin replied with his throat hanging.

It was around dawn when the two returned to the battleground again. It wasn’t until then that Teben and Zen’s work on the communication device was finished, and Honka and Shuri delivered the news.
[You’ve waited a long time. successors. Did you have a good time?]
Jin and Valeria were somewhat embarrassed, so they evaded the golem.
[Looks like you enjoyed your walk. The owner said that there are many beautiful places on Honka Island.]
[Huh, who takes a walk that’s close to 10 hours? This is called a date, Golem. Our ancestors made us do things… Well, we’re losers, so we have no complaints.]
[Yes, we really have no complaints. If you guys who look like young sukmaek tell me in detail how the hell they spent their time.] [
It’s not polite to ask such a thing.]
[What? manners? Just like us, stay in the battleground for 350 years! How interesting a story like this can be!]
[I was only at the lore ground. even longer. and other people’s love stories. usually. Interesting story.]
[Teven, I hate that golem!] [I hate
that golem too
!]
[If you don’t like it, fight it.
The communication device was a square board-like object, and there were three in total.
[It is an ultra-long-distance communication device. It’s something that makes it possible for lovers to have a conversation even if they’re at the end of the world…]
[Kuh… Thinking that you’re always waking up with this to stir-fry, the internal organs are twisted. But be happy! Descendants must have walked a lonely path in the meantime.]
“I have no intention of using it for that purpose, but thank you. Ancestor.”
[What!? You don’t use it for that purpose? then i can’t give it If you’re a lover, you should talk often!]
[Can’t give it? You look ugly again, Theven. You still don’t know how to concede? What the hell is a guy like you?]
Jin and Valeria laughed at their harmless, foolish appearances.
[How to use and how to make are all described in detail in this manual. Right now there are all three, but with materials and a good engineer, we can make more. Then go now! We’ll focus on rock-paper-scissors training again.]
[Now that we’ve handed over our burdens for a long time, we’ll be able to feel more comfortable.]
While looking at the manual, Jin held out one of the communication devices to Jen and Teven again.
“It would be good for you two to communicate with us from time to time. With the golem.”
“I’ll tell you the story of the outside world whenever you’re bored. It seems to be the only way I can repay my ancestors right now.”
At those words, Jen and Theben’s expression looked like they were going to burst into tears.
[Is that true?]
[We’re insignificant losers… You’re going to give that kind of recognition?]
“It’s not insignificant at all, Ancestor. There is so much to be gained from our ancestors in this lore. Compared to the hard work you two have endured over the past three hundred and fifty years… I haven’t done anything.”
[My descendants are the best!]
[They are not my descendants, but they are the best!]
Theben and Jen hugged the two and danced together. And Valeria met the golem’s eyes.
“I will give you a name.”
[Oh… Finally, I have a name. Hurry up and decide.]
“Yeello Hester.”
The golem stopped moving for a while and was silent.
Valeria was worried for a moment, wondering if she didn’t want to pass on the name of Elro to honor Maliette, but there was no need for that.
Mana was flowing like tears from the golem’s eyes.
[The name of the child who was favored by the owner. and family name. I’m impressed. I’m now a yello histor. A member of the Heister family.]
“I’m glad you like it. Please take good care of me in the future, Ello.”
Golem no. Yiello scratched the back of his head shyly and shook Valeria’s hand. Then he took something out of his pocket and held it out.
[This is my blueprint. Please make me a brother. The other one is… Master’s Arcane Spellbook.]
In addition to the communication device, Ielo’s Blueprint and Arcane Spellbook.
The journey in the lore that Malliet left behind was ending so richly.
