Tican.
After receiving the communication from the Garden of Swords, Jin came over here. Less than a day had passed since the meeting on the situation of the enemy.
“It’s been a while, Sir Bishkel.”
When Jin got off the red owl and asked for a handshake, Vishkel took it with an expressionless face. Jin did not miss the tension hidden under his expression.
“What happened all of a sudden anyway? Last time… It must have been about a month. At that time, our alliance contacted us saying they wanted to meet Orgal, but are you sure you came to give us an answer now?”
-I need to meet Orgal, King. He must have known Sanna. If you go right away like last time, there will be an uproar, so please send me a letter right away.
Immediately after meeting Sanna at the Tower of Stories, the Bamal Alliance requested a meeting with Kingelo. To dig up information about Sanna.
However, Kingelo did not reply, and in the meantime, Ameris woke up and Orgal and Zephyrin fell into unconsciousness and were even attacked by the enemy.
From the beginning, Jin had been embarrassing Bishkel and Kingelo’s executives by pointing out that point.
“Jin-kyung, I couldn’t answer that question right away because you were busy. As vice-captain, I will apologize on your behalf.”
“Aha, then Sir Bishkel is not here to answer my letter, but to discuss another matter. right?”
“…exactly.”
“Let me explain again. You guys just ignored the request for a meeting from the head of the Barmal Alliance, the head of the Runkandel Sogaju, on the pretext of being busy, but now, I don’t know what it is, but I’m in a position to urgently tell me that I’m sorry. You mean?”
Bishkel kept his expression while spitting out the words inwardly. There wasn’t a single word wrong in Jin’s sarcastic voice.
“…Even if you think so, I don’t think there’s anything to say. I will take responsibility for the rudeness in one way or another.”
Jin looked at Bishkel for a while and organized his thoughts.
‘Kingelo’s situation seems to be very bad. It’s clear that Orgal and Zephyrin also have problems, and it’s probably not just because of the enemy.’
Kingelo was coming out much more low-key than Jin expected.
“I’ll take responsibility somehow… What if I ask for Buvar’s head?”
“That pig bird no. I cannot give you his head, but I will give you my arms.”
“That can’t be done, brother!”
Margiela called out to Vishkel in an exaggerated voice. Jin laughed inwardly as he took out a handkerchief and wiped his dry eyes.
“I just said it, so don’t be so determined. I’m not from the enemy, so I’ll take someone’s neck or arm and use it for something.”
When the word enemy came out, Bishkel’s eyebrows narrowed.
“Compensation for rudeness is fine. I, too, visited Kingelo’s new headquarters and almost ended up with Orgal, so let’s pretend we didn’t have each other.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“Instead, it would be nice if there were very honest and candid stories going on today. If you show a sincere willingness to offer anything, just as you are willing to offer your arms now, I will listen positively and generously. However, if you don’t want to lose more and want to do calculations or tricks, Kingelo will have to lose and go back today without gaining anything.”
Bishkel nodded heavily.
In retrospect, Kingelo had always been dealing with Jean, but today he would be dealing with a particularly unfair deal.
“I will be careful.”
“Good. You kept the guest standing. There is a good spot in the garden. Let’s have a cup of tea and talk.”
Cookies and refreshments were served as we sat down at the garden table. As soon as Ainas sat down, she showed the appearance of putting the cookies to be brought to Boubar into her arms, and Vishkel, who saw her, had to calm his bubbling stomach. It was fortunate that Bouvard did not come in a group.
“Now, first. I wonder why you came instead of Orgal or Zephyrin.”
“You two are currently unconscious.”
As Jin warned, Vishkel obediently blew the truth.
“…Unconscious?”
“It’s been about ten days. It happened all of a sudden, without any warning.”
As soon as Jin heard that, he thought that it overlapped with the time Ameris woke up. When asked about the exact date, it actually coincided with the time the two fell unconscious and the time Ameris woke up.
‘I think it’s related to Ameris… why? Ameris said she didn’t know the two of them. When Kingelo goes back, I’ll have to ask him if he has any guesses.’
Since Orgal and Zephyrin were unconscious, it was not immediately possible to confirm whether they knew Ameris. Jin shook his head with a sad expression.
“I thought he’d gotten a little tougher since he met Bale last time, but Orgal still seems to be in a bad mood. Are you showing signs of waking up?”
“The demons examined and heard that there is improvement. It was said that it was not a physical problem, but a psychological shock.”
“Right. I can understand why Orgal and Zephyrin couldn’t come forward even though the Land of the Beasts branch was destroyed. Oh, you might be wondering how we know that. I sent sister Jonah to watch. And we met them before Kingelo.”
“…what are they? Frankly, I thought they had something to do with Gyeong. But their methods are far from the lapse of time.”
“Right. The enemy is neither the Barmal Union, nor Runcandel, nor my brothers. They are an ancient race of fighters who accidentally woke up.”
“A race of ancient warriors who accidentally woke up?”
“Kingelo doesn’t seem to have any information about the enemy. Although the enemy tribes live in a territory similar to the demons.”
“What is that…”
Jin pointed to the ground with his finger.
“underground. The enemy tribes have their dwellings underground. You wouldn’t say you didn’t know that demons live underground, right?”
Bishkel hid his surprise.
It was because there was no way to guess how Jin knew that the gate to the demon world existed underground. Kingelo did not know the current meeting between Jin and Shinu, nor did he know exactly what had happened in the Tower of Stories.
“I’ll leave it up to you to imagine how I first met the enemy and why I killed their officers. However, I don’t want you to think that the enemy tribe started their activities because of me and that Kingelo suffered damage from it. You’re the one who’s been touching the underground for a long time.”
Bishkel couldn’t answer and waited for the next words.
“From what I’ve heard, it’s presumed that you, Vishkel, are responsible for opening the door to the demon world within Kinzelo.”
As soon as Vishkel heard those words, he remembered what Octavia had said in Sota Desert.
-It’s a demon… Did you open the door? This was your ability, Vishkel Ivliano!
‘At the time, Tower Keeper Hedo was a key executive in Ziple… Did he transfer to the Barmal Alliance and tell Jin-kyung the information he heard from Octavia?’
It was a pure misunderstanding that Bishkel was a person with abilities related to the gates of the demon world, then and now. For Bishkel, the opportunity to finally resolve that misunderstanding had come.
“I don’t have any abilities related to the gates of the demon realm. The information Wonder heard was probably Octavia Ziple’s misunderstanding. The manager is entirely in charge of matters related to the Pandemonium.”
“Then what about Miss Margiela?”
“So does my brother.”
“Yuria.”
Immediately, Yuria confirmed the authenticity with her authority, and a blue string came out.
“Then, how does Orgal bring demons from the Demon Realm?”
What was omitted from the question was how to bypass the entrance to the underworld ‘guarded by Ameris’.
Bishkel could not grasp the omission. It was because I didn’t know any information about Ameris.
“I haven’t told you what I’m asking you yet. If you want to ask for information about the Pandemonium, it seems like the first thing to do is to listen to the request.”
“Tell me.”
“Please share with us all information you know about the enemy.”
“All information is unavailable. Instead, I can share all the information revealed by the record magic that has been spread within Kingelo’s realm with permission.”
“And until the captain wakes up, deal with the enemy tribes instead.”
“Depending on what Wonder is saying right now, it could be interpreted that our Kingelo has no power, so if the Barmal Alliance hits with all their might right now, it could be interpreted. You’re making a pretty dangerous statement. Was it a level that even some of the enemy clans could not handle?”
“It’s just to stop the slaughtering of prisoners. There are demons, so it’s not to the extent that we can’t stop them, but now that the leader is absent, we’re in a state of lack of mobility. Based on our research, they use teleportation. As you know, prisoners cannot stand against them.”
“Well, even Berakt and Bardray were terrified. With only a handful of people, the enemies are no different from the natural enemies.”
“Would you accept the offer?”
“I don’t think it’s such a bad condition since we can learn about the enemy tribe while helping Kingelo anyway. If you respond, you’ll hear how Orgal is using the Pandemonium.”
Jin pretended to be worried for a moment, then nodded.
In fact, it was a deal in which Jin had nothing to lose. For the time being, the enemy tribes will focus on hunting beasts anyway, so they needed Kingelo’s permission to perform record magic in that area.
Also, even if he didn’t help, Jin didn’t think that Kingelo would really end up failing to stop the enemy. As Vishkel said, only the beastmen’s troops would suffer serious losses.
Above all, Jin was wary of the possibility that the enemy tribes could become one with Kingelo. It was because even though the doctrines were different like the denominations of the Sun God, they all wanted the Sun God’s resurrection.
“Good. But I would like to ask you to put one more condition.”
“Tell me.”
Jin grinned and pointed at Inas with his eyes.
“I want you to calculate the price for the cookies Ainas Caligo took.”
“Eh, was this for money!?”
Ainas was startled and looked at Jin.
“…How can I calculate it?”
“Last time, Kingelo refused my steel deal… even though he offered to pay me several times more than the market price. After all, they’re selling that steel to Ziffle, not us.”
It was a story of handing over the unexploded steel at the price of cookies.
Bishkel gritted his teeth and could only nod.
