Swordmaster’s Youngest Son - Chapter 950
Chapter 950,
Chapter 234. To Hell (10)
‘I should have told the head of the household more strongly from the beginning that I would go with you. There are even Kelliac Ziple in Jin Runkandel, who has risen to the top of the window, but what on earth am I thinking of leaving the house alone…!’
The tower of stories vibrated whenever Elona took a step. The tower resonated with her anger.
Most of the personnel residing in the tower did not dare to look up at Elona. It was because of the pressure of condensing all the magic power in the area.
“…Elona-sama, I’m also worried about the householder. But please take your breath away for now.”
Ronil, the only one among the leaders, stood in front of Elona and opened her mouth.
“Sir Ronil.”
“The family wizards are falling. If Elona-nim leaves, they are all people who need to prepare for an attack by other forces, including the enemy tribe.”
Ronil was absolutely right.
However, Elona felt somewhat disappointed by Ronil’s businesslike attitude. Beradin cherishes him as a confidant, but it was because of the thought that the most important thing to Ronil was ‘Zipple’, not Beradin.
Looking back, of course everyone in the family was like that.
“…It becomes clear.”
Elona gathered her energy and said.
“May I ask what you mean by being certain?”
“My family name is important to me. But the patriarch is more important than that. I know very well that I am an immature human being. Sorry, I have to go.”
Ronil lowered his head.
“You have nothing to be sorry for us. Besides, it wasn’t Elona-sama’s arbitrariness, and the patriarch sent a signal directly to Hrotti. The mainland will be well defended by us. Salion-nim is here at the moment, so go with Salion-nim to the castle of Grosche.”
“All right.”
When Elona went up to the top floor of the tower, Salion, the wind dragon, had already changed into her true form and was preparing to fly.
[Octavia waited for me here in case something like this happened.]
Salion said as she flew into the sky.
“okay.”
[Octavia, unlike the others, thinks that Veradin is absolutely necessary to maintain the current zip. And I don’t know how it sounds to you, but Octavia loves Veradin very much as a human being. Like you.]
Salion was accurately reading Elona’s mind. Elona was a bit embarrassed to have her inner thoughts revealed, but she didn’t hate to hear it.
“I’m glad. I… I don’t know, Salion. Sometimes it feels like the family owner is not the ruler of Zipple, but just a puppet that looks like a ruler.”
[Zipple is originally such a family. Either the family head makes everyone a puppet, or everyone makes the family head a puppet. Actually, it’s not just a problem with Zipple. All the power groups in the world are structured that way.]
“That’s right.”
[Besides, since Beradin became the head of household, he has wielded an iron fist and has been purging. Everyone is afraid of him, so how could he be a puppet?]
The reason Elona felt that way about Beradin was no different.
It was because he knew that the current appearance of Veradin was not the result he wanted on his own. Because of this, those closest to him who assisted Beradin were most deeply involved in his mental manipulation.
However, Elona did not know the details of the mind manipulation experiment.
Veradin had deliberately kept quiet about mind manipulation so that Elona would not despise the leaders. It was judged that having a falling out between Elona and them would not help the family at all.
‘Recently, the family head has definitely changed. He seemed shaken by something and missed something.’
Elona was hoping that more of Beradin’s human side would be revealed.
It was because of a premonition that if he kept ignoring them, someday, like himself in the past, Berardin would become a monster that exists only for Ziple.
‘I will do everything in my power to prevent the householder from becoming like me from a thousand years ago. Even if it becomes a hindrance to the family’s prosperity.’
My stomach burned. Even though Salion was speeding up to the point where his breathing was rough, he felt that Grosh was far from his temper.
Bad thoughts kept coming to my mind. Maybe Beradin was already dead.
[It’s all here.]
Around sunset, Grosche Castle began to come into view.
Most of the fleets and troops of each faction waiting in Grosh’e Castle entered Hell, but the Golden Ship and some fleets of Runcandel still remained.
The golden ships were guarding the entrance to Hell in formation. The union knew of Elona’s move after receiving an anonymous report shortly after Salion left the Tower of Stories.
[Elona knew we were coming.]
Salion said in a tense voice.
Suddenly, if the coalition was thinking of attacking the Federation of Lutero, it occurred to them that now might be the right time.
While all the families and the family’s most important fleet went on an expedition to hell, only Jin and his party are missing from the alliance.
Of course, there was Elona, the strongest creation magician in Ziffle, but for now, the alliance had the overall power advantage.
Besides, what if the alliance has even made some kind of deal with the enemy? Elona couldn’t handle all of that alone.
“…Let’s talk first.”
A woman appeared at the head of the golden ship.
“Elona Ziple, wind dragon Salion. Please pause, I have something to tell you.”
It was Runtia. Behind her, the former Dark Knights and Hedo appeared together.
“Do you want to fight me?”
When Elona showed her anger, the sea area around the castle was agitated.
“Didn’t you say you had something to say to the deaf?”
Runtia faced Elona’s murderous intent without batting an eye. Even if she wasn’t a prodigy yet, she was also capable of fighting like fighting with Elona, and there were many people with that level of skill here.
In addition, since the Alliance even possesses the Red Owl and Mot, a means of leaping into space, it was possible to bring in additional power in an instant.
“If you want to fight, I won’t avoid anything. But it looks like you came here for some urgent matter, and if you don’t want to mess with it, you’d better accept the conversation.”
“…Okay, let’s listen.”
“It should be. Our cow lord said that if the wonder came to the gates of hell, it would only be because the Beradin Ziple was dangerous. right?”
Of course, information about the identity and condition of the head of the family is a top secret for any family.
However, Elona immediately nodded. Because there was no time to wrestle.
“is it so. I received a request for assistance from the state.”
“Then we have no reason to let you in. There’s nothing better for our Runcandel than the death of Jiple’s family in Hell.”
“You’re playing with me right now…”
“Originally, it would have been like that. But our Sogaju didn’t want him to die right now. I don’t know about you, but our Sogaju and that Gaju were close friends in the past. It’s strange, but we’re the only ears here anyway.”
[Hey, Runtia Runkandel, what’s the point of saying that all of a sudden?]
“Pungnyong, it would be nice if you closed your mouth. don’t you know yet? If you really want to save the Beradin Ziple, you have to accept whatever we ask for now. Are you sure you’re going to fight us and then get to the Beradin Zipline? Even if we beat all of us, it’s clear that Lord Elona won’t be safe. I don’t think the fight will end in a day or two.”
Salion could not refute and gritted his teeth.
“…I know what you mean, so say what you want quickly.”
Elona barely had a calm voice. In fact, she wanted to tell me to get out of the way right now.
As Runtia said, if they fought with the Union now, the possibility of saving Beradin would disappear forever.
“Sir Elona Zipple. On your honor, if you make one promise with us, we will get out of the way right away.”
“What promise?”
“I will go to hell safely and save Beradin Ziple. Meet our record wizard and face your past.”
“…I beg your pardon?”
“That’s all of Runkandel’s requirements. Just as Runkandel and Ziple had a secret meeting in the past, it means that we will take a look at Sir’s past leisurely without ever attacking each other. I don’t think this would be such a bad condition for you either.”
It was a completely unexpected request for Elona.
And as Runtia said, it wasn’t a bad condition for Elona. Elona wanted to find her forgotten past.
Even if some terrible truth awaits.
“Is that… really all?”
“exactly.”
Salion hesitated, but Elona nodded as if there was nothing to worry about.
“All right. I will.”
“You are cool. I’m sure you’ll keep your promise.”
“I promise to you on the honor of me, my family, and the head of the family. I, Elona Ziple, will meet Valeria Heister and face my past after I have saved my family and returned safely from hell. but.”
Elona looked around the Union troops.
“…If the person who put the family head in danger is not the demons but Jin Runkandel, I will definitely kill him in hell. When I return, I will reduce all of you to ashes. Even if the whole world is destroyed.”
“Perhaps it’s because he’s a creative genius, so he has great confidence. But Kyung doesn’t know our Sogaju very well. Jin Runkandel is not a person who can commit such a cowardly act against a close friend. If the youngest had made up his mind, Beradin Ziple would have already died many times.”
Runtia shrugged.
“If it was the same atmosphere as before, it would be impossible to dream of. To think that Runcandel’s Sogaju was considerate of Ziple’s Sogaju. How much more does he send an enemy creation wizard down to the battlefield where Sogaju is located to save Beradin? But so is our youngest Runcandel. And everyone respects the will of the youngest. Beyond the law.”
In fact, I’m still not sure if my father in the Black Sea felt the same way, but… Runtia looked at Elona while swallowing her words.
“So go now. Runkandel will be watching to see if he keeps his promise.”
The golden ship rose and opened the gates of hell.
Elona passed under it and thought about Runcandel for a short time on the way to the gates of hell.
There was obviously a big difference between the way Runkandel looked at Jin and the way Zipple looked at Beradin.
Because of this, Elona felt strange for a moment.
I forgot about it due to the long sealing, but even a thousand years ago, Elona had the same feelings as now.
It was the feeling of being envious of Runkandel.
